I feel like dying because I no longer love you.That’s why I’m desperate.I wish I were old,my life’s devoted to you all.I wish I no longer existed, because I can’t love you.That’s the thought which came to me in the night club,when you were so bored.
今晚我有一种垂死的感觉，是因为我不再爱你了。这就是我感到苦闷不堪的原因。但愿我已经衰老，但愿我的一生已全部交给了你。但愿我已不复存在，因为我不能再爱你了。就是这样。这就是我们坐在夜总会里，当你感到极其无聊的时候，我所产生的想法。
_But if this is true,if you feel like dying…it means you still love me.
No.it’s only pity.
_I never gave you anything,I was completely unaware.I go on wasting my life,like a fool…taking without giving or giving too little.If you mean I haven’t much to give,you may be right.
I used to spend afternoons reading in bed.Tommaso would call and find me there.He could have taken me,I wouldn’t have resisted,out of boredom.But he was satisfied to watch me as I read.All those purposeless books.Two hundred pages a day,I read so quickly.
_I’ve been selfish.Now I realize that what we give others comes back to us.
Do they think their music will improve the day?
_Lidia,let’s settle this.Let’s try to hang on to something we are sure of.I love you.I’m sure I’m still in love with you.What more can I say?Let’s go home.
When I awake this morning,you were still asleep.As I awake I heard your gentle breathing.I saw your closed eyes,beneath wisps of stray hair…and I was deeply moved.I wanted to cry out to wake you,but you slept so deeply,so soundly.In the half light your skin glowed with life…so warm and sweet I wanted to kiss it,but I was afraid to wake you,I was afraid of you awake in my arms again.Instead,I wanted something no one could take from me,mine alone…this eternal image of you. Beyond your face I saw a pure,beautiful vision…showing us in the perspective of my whole life…all the years to come,even all the years past.This was the most miraculous thing to feel for the first time that you had always been mine.This night would go on for ever…united with your warmth,your thought,your will.At that moment I realized how much I loved you,Lidia. I wept with the intensity of the emotion.For I felt this must never end…we would remain like this all our lives…not only close but belonging to each other…in a way that nothing could ever destroy…except the apathy of habit, the only threat. Then you wakened and smiling,put your arms around me,kissed me…and I felt there was nothing to fear.We could always be as we were at the moment…bound by strange ties than time and bit.
今早我醒来时，你还在沉睡。我从梦中徐徐醒来，听到你那沉静的呼吸声，透过垂落在你脸上的缕缕头发，看到你的眼睛……它唤起了我的激情。我想出声叫你，把你弄醒，因为你睡得那么深沉，几乎像是没有了生命。在朦胧的晨曦中，你臂上的肌肉和你的喉头像是在颤动，温馨而滋润，我真想把嘴唇贴上去。但一想到这样会打扰了你的睡眠，会再次使你在我的怀抱中醒来，我便克制住了自己。其实，我宁愿占有这样一种东西，没有人能从我这里把它夺走，它是属于我所有，也只属于我一个人所有：那就是你永远不变的形象。
透过你的面庞我看到了一个纯洁优美的幻象，从另一个角度反射出你和我，它包含着我的一生，我的未来，甚至我和你相遇以前，我一步一步向你走近的那些年代。这当中最奇幻的一幕便是我第一次感觉到你从来就是属于我的；这一个夜晚将永无尽头，将无限地持续下去，而你就在我身边……你身体的温暖、你的思想、你的意愿和我融为一体。那一刻，我意识到了我是多么爱你，强烈的激情使我热泪盈眶。我觉得那一切永无终止，将要占满了我余生中的全部岁月，不只是靠得这样近，而且感到我们是属于对方——这样的生活没有任何人、任何东西可以破坏，我们面临的只有一个威胁，就是对这种生活习惯了而变得麻木不仁。这时，你渐渐醒来，睡眼惺忪地微笑着，伸手把我抱住。于是我感到不再担心，我们会像此时此刻那样永不分离，被某种比时间更长久，比习惯更坚固的东西紧紧联系在一起。
_Who wrote that?
You did.
