Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
If you look me in the eyes

but often in a series of small robberies,
which add up to the same loss.

what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life-
to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain,
to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?
