I know how you hate the sound of lips parting so close to your ear so I tried to kiss you as silently as I could. I tried to kiss you on your lips but you pushed me away and sat up. You looked at me, grabbed the sheet, covered yourself with it, and stood up. Everything happened fast. “We are not in love; we are just infatuated with the situation,” you said. Then you left. We never came.

It must resist the warmth of the eight-rayed sun or the heat of the sea lion’s breath. It must be cold enough to freeze pests, foreign or not but not cold enough to kill the peasant commander.
