I know what you've been through.. I did the same so I cant blame u for doing it too..
But I'm past that. I know now that it's not something that can be helped. Subsequently.. There'll be other factors too. I dont know what else to say. But I dont wan ya to drift that far.. There's more to life then that.
Maybe I'm selfish. But I'm only human.

Some of the comments,
"... a beautiful tragedy about the anguish of unfulfilled love. It's an absolute triumph, in every way."
-- Dawn Taylor, PORTLAND TRIBUNE
"This story of suppressed passion is, irrespective of gender considerations, a deeply moving, indeed lacerating, film."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"Any of us can imagine a forbidden passion so sweeping that it carries us off at flood tide, never allowing us to question it. Whether the object of our affection would carry a purse, a lariat or both is beside the point."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"Ang Lee conveys maddening delirium rendered in the way one man’s eyes gaze at another’s, and then look away, and the looking-away amounts to the murder of two souls as surely as if they’d drawn guns and hit each other in the heart."
-- Ken Tucker, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"A haunting and complex story that explores the strength and fragility of love, Ang Lee's visually magnificent film is as affecting as it is beautiful."
