aw...come here, I love you, I've missed you.....you do? dang, do you know how long I've waited to hear that? oh, but you feel the same way about "lots of people"? really? GO AWAY!!! no, wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that - I was just having a....a moment, it kind of threw me when you said that...you didn't mean that, did you? you didn't mean what I thought you meant, did you? you did? but you said...I thought...okay, you need to choose. I think you have a problem with making decisions, maybe it goes back to your childhood or something, maybe I can help you with that, if you'll talk to me...oh, for crap sake! you're so full of shit! GO AWAY! just go - don't come back! clean break - I need space, I need time, I need my life back - I set it down somewhere back there when I took your hand, I need to go find it. Oh, man...I miss you so much. I love you. aww...come here. okay - let's try again. it won't be the same - it will be DIFFERENT! because we've learned something from all that pain and now we both know what we want, and what we want is each other! right? uh...no, I thought we were done with that "issue", I thought we had that one all figured out...wait...I can't do that again, no. Oh, why don't you just go away - go away FOR GOOD this time! Leave me alone! how can you...how could you...WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU??? Are you retarded? Do you speak english? Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
I'm sorry, you're right, I'm overreacting again...forgive me? I love you, I'll always love you, you know that...

Rinse, repeat, slowly fold in 24 years.......stir.
