Richard Burton, letter to Elizabeth Taylor (via ragtimeband)
+ 49
"Well, first of all, you must realize that I worship you. Second of all, at the expense of seeming repetitive, I love you. Thirdly, and here I go again with my enormous command of language, I can’t live without you. Thirdly, I mean fourthly, you have an enormous responsibility, because if you leave me I shall have to kill myself. There is no life without you, I’m afraid. And I am afraid. Afeared. In terms of my life, scared. And fifthly, and I hope I will never repeat myself, I fancy you."
