Roxanne

1:07:01

It was eloquent.

1:07:03

No, not eloquent, just honest.

1:07:11

I am in orbit around you,
I am suspended weightless over you -

1:07:17

- like the blue man in the Chagall, -

1:07:22

- hanging over you in a delirious kiss.

1:07:27

Yesterday, on the street...
I swore I heard your name.

1:07:34

I turned and there was nobody there.
Just five birds rising off the ground -

1:07:40

- and when their wings hit the air,
I heard your name again.

1:07:45

Just for that second I was one of them,
pounding out your name: Roxanne.

1:07:51

Roxanne. A word of two syllables
locked inside my head.

1:07:59

You see... I am...
and I will always be -

1:08:07

- the one who loved you
without limits.

1:08:10

What are you talking about?
It is too much.

1:08:14

- Go on.
- It is working, go on.

1:08:22

This is my whole life right now.
Standing here talking to you like this.

1:08:28

Saying things I wanted to say,
but could not.

1:08:32

Why could you not talk to me?

1:08:35

I was afraid you would laugh at me.

1:08:38

- That is silly.
- No, not if you knew.

1:08:42

When you are reaching for a star,
there is a long way to fall.

1:08:47

I almost never let this moment happen.

1:08:50

Now I feel sorry for people for whom
it never comes.

1:08:56

I love you. I have breathed you in
and I am suffocating.
