“Sting told me if I love somebody I should set them free.
I doubt Sting ever loved anyone with wings. If he did he might rethink such a stupid sentiment.
I suppose the point is to wait for your love to come back to you voluntarily.
I wonder if there’s a difference between setting something free and letting it go?
I probably did it wrong.
I should stop taking advice from my radio.
I worry that you’re lost.
I keep a heart-shaped cage unlocked for you, out on the street where it can easily be seen.
So if one day you return at least you’ll have a place to stay.”

“You send me all these roses.
Every time I think the last bouquet has arrived, finally, another turns up.
I’m running out of vases.
I didn’t know roses came in so many colors.
You say they’re the perfect symbols of love because they have thorns and love is pain.
I say life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
And you don’t get it.
You say you love me, but you don’t speak my language.
You don’t even realize I’m an orchid girl.”
