00:00I saved every letter you wrote me, from the moment I read them I knew you were mine, you said you were mine, I thought you were mine.
00:21Do you know what Angela said when we saw your first letter arrive? She said, be careful with that one, love, he will do what it takes to survive.
00:36You and your words flooded my senses, your sentences left me defenseless, you built me palaces out of paragraphs, you built cathedrals.
00:51I was reading the letters you wrote me, I was searching and scanning for answers in every line, for some kind of sign, and when you were mine, the world seemed to end.

01:37Do you know what Angela said when she read what you'd done? She said, you have married a gypnosis, it has flown too close to the sun.

02:55You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
03:25you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
