Message I once saw written on a blackboard

[mfan]

This message was on the blackboard in a classroom at Marymount College in Tarrytown, NY during the summer of 1989. That whole summer it was never erased, and every time I was in that room I would see it and read it. Despite the writer's lack of English language proficiency, it has a certain pleadingness and romantic beauty, and I wrote it down and I still have it on paper.

 

 

YOU ONLY ARE THE

SECRET OF THE LIFE

 

WHY DON'T YOU ARE ME? (fill me)

 

I'd like to feel you

in the nature [breathe]

in the eyes of others

and especially to look

everything by your eyes

 

I love you (so much)

with every

part of me -

I need you.

Isn't it funny how things like that stick with us. There is a monument in the city I work in that I have walked by on occasion. The saying carved in it touched home with me. I don't remember the exact words but every time I walk near this monument I think of it and of him (which is why I never wrote it down). It is something along the lines of....no matter time or distance, you are remembered.
