Heartbeats

Gwen: Come in, I've been expecting you

There's a knock on the door and love walks through

And lights a fire and smiles a smile

As if love were going to stay a while

And the fire breathes and weaves its spell

But then love runs out of lies to tell

For love is restless, love's a flirt

Love has places to go and people to hurt

So here's the shovel to smother the flame

Tomorrow you'll barely remember my name

And I'll try to forget you, my dearest one

As a prisoner tries to forget the sun

For life holds no purpose, and love holds no charms

Since I beheld you in another's arms.

There Are Still a Few Men Who Love Desperately (4)

Valmont: I want you somehow...somehow...

to get to see Madame de Tourvel.

I understand she is very ill.

That is why this is most important to me.

I want you to tell her that I cannot explain why I broke with her as I did.

But that since then, my life has been worth nothing.

I pushed the blade in deeper than you just have my boy...

and now I need you to help me withdraw it.

Tell her it is lucky for her that I have gone...

and I am glad not to have to live without her.

Tell her, her love was the only real happiness that I have ever known.

Will you do that for me?
