Let’s keep things in perspective

It's not the theatrical gestures that matter in any relationship but the substance of what is actually done.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Don’t overdo it when you say you love

me, as I don’t want a performance

of any kind; instead, let your

actions serve as your mouthpiece,

for that’s the language I understand far

better than any number of fancy words

which say nothing and mean even

less in actuality, because when

looked at carefully they’re

so absolutely absurd.
