Literature Text

I'm in love with the air and the cries it carries to me
I love that which I cannot see, nor hear, nor touch
And yet I feel it
The only true love I've known
During a life of heartbreak and disappointments
Oh! To meet the air. That which has come over me
What should I do? Dance with him, lay with him?
Tell he that I know not what his troubles may be
That I love him?
What is it to love that which does not exist?
Love does not see, nor hear, nor touch itself
It is as the air to me
So I find that it is love that I love
And nothing else

I like this! Lovely progression from "air" to "love." 8-)

Air may be a metaphor to you--or I can imagine that, having been naked in the air often, as I have, you have come to love its unimpeded touch on your skin...
