00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.445 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.445 --> 00:00:02.070 align:middle line:84%
I have to be careful
about what I read,

00:00:02.070 --> 00:00:05.100 align:middle line:84%
because my mother-in-law and
my father-in-law are here.

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:06.240 align:middle line:90%
And they'll squeal on me.

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:11.100 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.190 align:middle line:84%
This is an old love,
so it's all right.

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:16.500 align:middle line:90%
It predates Gail.

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.660 align:middle line:90%
It's called Roman Termini.

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:20.310 align:middle line:84%
It's the railroad
station in Rome.

00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:23.280 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.770 align:middle line:84%
The woman she looks
like was a woman

00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:29.220 align:middle line:84%
i had been crazily in
love with 40 years ago

00:00:29.220 --> 00:00:33.270 align:middle line:84%
who hadn't loved me, but once
was tempted enough, or kind

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:37.290 align:middle line:84%
enough, or cruel enough to
kiss me in front of her door

00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:40.530 align:middle line:84%
with a passion that has
lasted all these years.

00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:45.390 align:middle line:84%
And at the end, someday,
maybe is what she said.

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:49.710 align:middle line:84%
Her umbrella yellow, her
lipstick bright red, gleaming.

00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:53.040 align:middle line:84%
Not a year has been
added to her years.

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:56.490 align:middle line:90%
Too late, too late.

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:59.580 align:middle line:84%
Now, you who believe
you have outgrown

00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:04.110 align:middle line:84%
the juvenilia of your
dreams, observe this man.

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
He stands by himself
on a station platform

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:10.890 align:middle line:84%
still waiting for
his kiss, overwhelmed

00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:17.250 align:middle line:84%
by the small damages our
histories do to us, how memory

00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:20.220 align:middle line:84%
retards us with
its generous gifts,

00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:23.910 align:middle line:84%
then, when it most
matters, takes them back.

00:01:23.910 --> 00:01:26.760 align:middle line:84%
I guarantee that
what will devastate

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.140 align:middle line:90%
you is what you have surpassed.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:31.000 align:middle line:90%
