I love her like the first time I ever saw
her. I love her sweet lips and her playful eyes. I love her voice telling me
any inconsequential folly, laughing or crying. She's so pure, so alive, so
innocent, so passionate. I can't live without her. Not anymore. I fear losing
her. I become frantic every time she wants to leave. I need her with me
constantly. And she needs me. She doesn't realize it yet, but she does need me
all the time. She's too fragile, too naive. For me, she's perfect. But people
do not know her, how delicate she is. People are evil. Today I tied her to the
bed with a strap. It saddened me to see how she fought to free herself, and how
she cried while begging me to unbound her. She didn't understand what I was
telling her. She was not listening. I wanted to cry too. Never before had I
tied her, I just had locked the doors and let the dogs loose in the yard. I am
afraid someone will hurt her. I imagine her small, white body soiled by
ignorant people, and I go crazy thinking about it. Her lovely lips touched by
rough hands. She needs me, don't you understand? Let me go, for God's sake, let
me go, now!
