Fire and Gasoline

Gasoline: Fire, why do you not hate me?

Fire: Why would I hate you?

Gasoline: I'm not sure

Fire: You feed me don't you. You keep me warm. Who could ask for more

Gasoline: Yes but...

Fire: But nothing my love. You are perfect for me

Gasoline: But you're burning. Are you immune?

Fire: Not exactly

Gasoline: See, I am hurting you

Fire: You're saving me. The burn doesn't hurt. I've learned to love it. I need it

Gasoline: You don't. I see it on your arms. I see it behind your eyes. You hate it.

Fire: I don't, I promise. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me. It would be an honor to die by your hands.

Gasoline: So then you know. You know that one day I will kill you. Why do you stay?

Fire: Oh I've known it a long time. I knew it the moment our eyes locked, from the first word you spoke, from the first feel of your touch.

Gasoline: Then why? Why are you torturing yourself. Your suicide will go unnoticed. You are not a martyr Fire.

Fire: I know I am not a martyr. I am trying to survive with what I'm given. Do you see anyone else? I would be alone without you.

Gasoline: You'd rather die in company than live alone?

Fire: Yes.

Gasoline: Aren't you scared? Of death? Of me?

Fire: I can't fear you. I love you so much. You are my everything. I would die 100 times for you.

Gasoline: I can't burden you of that. You're just a kid. I'm stealing you. Just because you accept your fate doesn't mean I'm not still holding a gun.

Fire: You're not a burden. Please don't leave me. I'll die without you. I'm addicted, I admit. But please don't rid me of my vice.

Gasoline: I can't. I will not be the reason you die.

Fire: But you will either way. If you remove the claws you sunk into me I'll bleed out. I can't breathe without your hand to my neck.

Gasoline: You need to learn to breathe without me. I'm sorry I stole your oxygen. I'm sorry I denied you the opportunity to live as your own vessel.

Fire: Stop apologizing. I should be the one to say sorry. I take so much and give so little. I am a burning rage. You can't fix me, I'm sorry it's so hard to love me.

Gasoline: I think it's time for me to go. Goodbye Fire. I love you.

Fire: No. No no no no no no no no no please. Please don't leave me. I can change. I promise I can change. I'll be perfect from now on. Just please tell me how I can change. I'll be better!

Gasoline: I won't be. It wasn't your fault. But you need to let me go. Let us be separate entities for the night.

Fire: No, please don't. Say you love me. Say you'll never leave me.

Gasoline: Ti amerò per sempre. Più del sole ama la luna. Più di mille stelle. Sarai per sempre la luce della mia vita.

Fire: I don't know what you said

Gasoline: You can choose. Goodbye now Fire.

Fire: Sii felice Gasoline, perché meriti più di quanto potrei mai offrire. Ti amerò per sempre. Più del sole ama la luna. Più di mille stelle. Sarai sempre la mia musa.
