They wouldn't do this to me.

You wouldn't do this to me.

Has our promise run empty?

No one will stop to hear me.


In any case, I don't need them.

You left me! How dare you?

Your absence clashes with the warmth of my fingertips.

I hate you.


I'm sorry - I've finally taken a break. Will you return?

I didn't mean it. I've made your favorite cookies, can't you tell?

Oh. You've lost your sense of smell?

I'm sorry. I didn't know you that well. 

Can't you come back? Who put you under this spell?


I know I don't deserve you.

Just look at what I've put you through.

But my eyes hurt, and I can't sleep.

I just need to hold you. You're all that I need.

I'm pathetic and pointlessly begging.

I should stop my incessant whining.

I'm lost without you. My mind's so gone.

But I must keep living for you, so I'll move on. 


Forgiveness.

Acceptance.

I didn't want to cry.

But now I have to say goodbye.

Why's it so hard to say goodbye?
