and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream,
until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
