When I no longer have your heart I will not request your bodyyour presenceor even your polite conversation. I will go away to a far countryseparated from you by the sea– on which I cannot walk –and refrain even from sendinglettersdescribing my pain.

About This Quote

I will never be able to make it without you. I will not request your body, your presence, or even your polite conversation. I will go away to a far country and be separated from you by the sea. I cannot walk on it and will not be able to send letters describing my pain. I will try to keep myself busy and be busy with work and play but inside I will always feel the same way.
