[00:07.04]It started in the winter,
[00:16.15][02:51.29][04:09.29]it ended in the fall.
[00:24.62]We ruffled through Lolita,
[00:28.80]and somehow you didn't see me at all.
[00:41.38]But then I mumbled something
[00:49.67]and you raised your eye.
[00:58.28]A fiery little evening.
[01:05.81]And then we said, "Goodbye."
[01:13.18]We started in the winter,
[01:19.81]and pushed on towards the fall.
[01:26.01]Lay safe in ivory sheets and
[01:29.58]sketched verses of Shakespeare on your bedroom wall.
[01:38.58]But we were not like Shakespeare.
[01:45.14]Ran out of things to say.
[01:51.83]And like our penciled verses
[01:59.32]began to fade away.
[02:06.76]I won't hear when you say that this somehow can't work,
[02:13.07]that we won't have the time,
[02:14.48]that the distance between us is too much.
[02:19.69]And I know the time at the palace, the time with the view,
[02:24.74]my hand on your leg and your scuffed yellow shoe,
[02:27.71]and we were just perfect, I know this is true --
[02:30.88]but do I just know it,
[02:33.09]just me and not you?
[02:42.75][03:29.19][04:00.58]It started in the winter.
[02:58.77]Some markings on a calendar,
[03:02.41]beginning and ending, I guess that's all.
[03:13.84]Some things they last forever,
[03:21.46]and some things, well, they don't.
[03:38.33]But I still wonder --
[03:44.75]do you still scoff at Ophelia?
[03:52.98]What's he think of Humbert Humbert?
