be my valentine

I am learning so much about you. Ugh. ... You don't even have the courage to use your name and to show yourself without a mask. If you are ashamed of what you are doing, why do you do it?

And I who thought you were so beautiful and who believed in you.

I am worth more than you. ... Your heart ... doesn't exist. You're stuffed with phrases, and you're believed, and paid attention to.

...There is nothing real in you. What I used to love doesn't exist and I'm mad at you for having made me discover it.

Take care that I never run into you, for I would take off your mask in front of everybody.

Good-bye.

I no longer believe.

I no longer hope.

I no longer love.

^{Liane de Pougy to Natalie Barney (1899)}
