Hello.
I have one thing to
ask of you.
Go and look in the
mirror.
Go on.
So that I can…
see you.
Go on.
You need to do this.
Wherever you are,
go and find a mirror.
Go to the toilet, or
the bathroom.
Get one out of your
bag.
Please don’t read
any further until
you’ve found a
mirror.
I need you to find a
mirror.
Thank you.
Look at yourself.
Every line in your
face.
Your story.
Look at your lips.
Can I kiss you?
What do you think
people will say?
Looking down at
that face?
After you’re gone?
Maybe it won’t be
anything.
Can you remember
the time when you
broke that thing of
mum’s?
When we were kids?
I can’t remember
what is was.
A glass bowl?
A vase?
Everything breaks.
Everybody breaks
…your heart.
Yes?
Yes.
And now it’s just me
and you.
Me here.
You in the mirror.
And I’m sorry for
that
But it was the only
way.
To become free.
And for that I love
you.
With all of your
broken heart.
With every tiny
fragment.
Crushed like snow
and cast up into the
air.
Falling like leaf-
skeletons.
Forever falling.
