O God, if he were here now I would not behave as I did then, but differently. I would not be silly and afraid of things, I would simply embrace him, cling to him, and make him look at me with those searching inquiring eyes with which he has so often looked at me, and then I would make him laugh as he used to laugh.

The moon—
[NATASHA]
First time I heard your voice
Moonlight
burst into the room
And I saw your eyes
And I saw your smile
And
the world opened wide
And the world was inside of me
[NATASHA]
And I catch my breath
And I laugh and blush
And I

And your childlike eyes
And your distant smile
I’ll never be this happy again

How can anyone sleep?
There was

You
and I
And no one else

And he’s sitting in the drawing room
And I simply forgot
