A Lover´s Discourse, Fragments I: Am I in Love?



"Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. 

The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this:
I am the one who waits."
