i say i am in love with her, what does that mean?

it means i review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. it is as though i wrote in a foreign language that i am suddenly able to read. wordlessly she explains me to myself; like genius, she is ignorant of what she does.

my passion can be explained away. but this is sure: whatever she touches, she reveals.
