“Why are you so torn up about this anyway? You still love her don’t you?”
“Of course I do.”
“Why is that such a bad thing?”
“Because I know I’m not supposed to. We hurt each other a lot.”
“That hasn’t stopped you before.”
“But it’s stopping me now.”
“Why?”
“Because this feels addictive. That isn’t healthy.”
“But you love her…”
“I shouldn’t have to hurt myself to love her. That’s not good.”
“But she makes you happy.”
“She also makes me sad.”
“So what do you do now? You can’t spend all your time running from the problem and being sad and angry.”
“I know I can’t. I don’t know what I want anymore.”
“I feel like you do.”
“I do. But I can’t have it.”
“Why not?”
“We aren’t ready for each other.”
“So now what?”
“I don’t know, man…I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
“But you can’t keep running from it.”
“I will as long as I can.”
“Of course I do.”
