:31:05
Come, let's sit here a moment
:31:09
as we so often sat together
at your place.
:31:17
Don't think l've forgotten
all l owe you.
:31:24
You taught me love's
wonderful miracle.
:31:29
You made me a woman with
every drop of life's blood.
:31:32
l belonged to you with
all my senses.
:31:38
We grew together
and became one.
:31:41
There was no shame
between us.
:31:45
Love cleansed me of everything,
of what was low and miserable.
:31:51
lt opened me up
to the good and beautiful.
:31:57
l found in you a man with whom
l could share life.
:32:03
l asked myself whether l truly
deserved so much happiness.
:32:09
Gertrud, why did you ever
leave me?
:32:14
Gabriel, do you really
believe l left you?
:32:22
Don't you realize
it was you who pushed me away -
:32:27
gently...gradually.
:32:32
l have never loved another.
:32:34
l believe you - as much
as you could love.
:32:40
But what was l to you?
You were tired of my love.
:32:46
When it became clear, l left.
:32:51
Gertrud, there's truth
in what you say.
:32:54
Work took you away from me, but
never did l want to break it off.
