Juni don't say that...

It's not your music, you know I love your music

Hell that's what made us fall for each other.

The garage sales, the record stores, all that vintage  hunting...That was us but...



....I don't know... it's got to be something more. We know that,

Hell, you know that. You taught me that.

Juni stop saying that will you.

I hate when you curse. 

Such a pretty mouth, capable of painting pictures with the finest syllables Webster has to offer...ha ha ha

See your laughing too...



I am a jerk Juni, I know this.

I could just stay here in Jersey and play the role of cool boyfriend who your friends all love.

You know they love me...especially when we play Boggle...

You plying me with wine and me breaking all their stereotypes

We made a good team you and I.



Why did I say made? Come on don't knit pick Juni, we're not that couple.

The kind of couple that feels like they gotta shout 

at each other just to rekindle some tired passion. 

Geesh give me a break...can you imagine if we were those people.

I'd jump off a roof, as a matter of fact I'd let you do it. 

If I ever yell at you and you feel yourself getting turned on, 

take out a cheap revolver and blow my uppity brains out.



Ha ha ha...why a cheap revolver? Juni you ain't going broke on my account.

Besides if you kill me, you gotta pay for my funeral, that's the deal.

My mother can't afford to bury her golden goose



No matter what happens we'll still be us Juni...

 2016 ain't even over yet. Plenty of time for us to find other people 

and pretend we like their playlist...ha ha ha

You ain't fooling me Juni,

you are very specific about what you put in your ears.

Drove me absolutely insane that you could eat up Dave Matthews 

but had no time for Patrick Watson. 

Well neither one of them is Jeff Buckley but Juni that ain't my point...


I gotta move on. It ain't you or me, it's ...time.

Time is the enemy of everything beautiful.

..and Juni...this was beautiful



-Don't say that Juni! I haven't become anyone else, I'm still myself! 

I need space to be weird again, you're too...neat. 

That's not a knock but how can I get out what's in me 

if I don't advance with the times? 



I'm a hard read I know this 

but we had some great Tuesdays through Saturdays right?



Fine...if you want your music back I'll get you your music. 

It's gonna take a minute...

-Because your music is mixed in with my music now.

That shows that I didn't see this coming either...

How are they mixed in? Well Juni you know how I like my music...

That's why I wear my Vintage Music T-shirts all the time...  


...Oh yeah your music, okay we'll get it

Let me just remember where everything is...


My 8 Tracks....well I don't own any


My Vinyl records are in the Garage


My Cassette tapes are in the Attic


My CDs are on shelves in the Basement


My MP3s are... always with Me...........


Juni, Who the 'F' have I become?
