Relieve me of aptitude;

No achievement will satisfy.

Absolve me of distinction;

Even the highest status will not suffice.

Pardon all propriety;

No virtue will acquit such a yearning that festers in my bones.

Give me only This

And let All else be inadmissible.

This Love and this moment;

And, the warmth of your lips against mine.
