i like your look
yet you make me
better than i am

with you i lose
the difference between
pleasure and pain

i long to hear
your laughter
in the morning


//

Phaedrus: (as Lysias, cont.)

and also
it belongs to (prosekein)
you better

to become (gignomai)
persuaded (peithein) by me
rather than a lover (erastes)

// 233α

καὶ μὲν δὴ βελτίονί σοι προσήκει

γενέσθαι ἐμοὶ πειθομένῳ ἢ ἐραστῇ
