What, singing?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

It's just singing! It's fun, though! I wonder where that karaoke machine went . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

You want to play with that again?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like singing.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

We could look for it later.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

You wanna hear me, huh?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I certainly wouldn't mind.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[bumps against him a bit] I can do that!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

That would be good, then.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Now read the other one!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

... all right.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I didn't really read a lot of it before I gave it to you . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[smiling a little] I've read the whole thing.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? . . . You like it?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I did, and I still do. Very much.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Good! I guess that chick knew her stuff! I couldn't really pick it out myself.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

She has good taste, I have to say.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

So read! [flops back against, relaxing]

[flips it open to a page, and reads quietly, evenly:]

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

[GEEZ, reddens a little]

I-I didn't know I got you such an embarrassing book!!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[pauses] You didn't?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . I wanted one that was--embarrassing--but I didn't know it was that embarrassing--

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

... I liked it?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . [red] Well, uh, keep going . . .
