Julio Cortázar - "Hopscotch"

"My love, I do not love you for you or for me or for the two of us together, I do not love you because my blood tells me to love you, I love you because you are not mine because you are from the other side, from there where you invite me to jump and I cannot make the jump because in the deepest moment of possession you are not in me -- how you like to use the verb to love, with what vulgarity, you toss it around among plates and sheets and buses -- I'm tormented by your love because I cannot use it as a bridge because a bridge can't be supported by just one side, Write or Le Corbusier will never make a bridge that is supported by just one side, and don't look at me with those bird's eyes, for you the operation of love is so simple, you'll be cursed before me even if you love me as I do not love you."
