I want a love like Achilles and Patroclus
lovers in the darks, soulmates even in the afterlife
I want a love like Bonnie and Clyde
reckless and spreading like a wildfire
I want a love like Antony and Cleopatra
a great love that demands great sacrifices
I want a love like Romeo and Juliet
transformed into star-crossed lovers in the sky
all these great loves but ours will be the greatest of all
I want you, all of you as a whole if you will let me
