boy: is there someone else? are you disinterested?

girl: i just think that i fucked up my life a little bit and it's never going to go quite back to normal. and it got me to thinking that i don't want to use what life i have left to feel nothing. to experience nothing new. like i'm going to be stuck being some fucking naive person for the rest of my life

boy: i don't know if i've experienced a lot, or close to nothing at all. but i know that you are all i want to experience. and so i'm going to say this and i think you are going to take it the wrong way, or not understand. or maybe just think i have issues or whatever, but i live for you. i live for my love for you. its not that i don't have other people or things to live for. but you are the ultimate thing to live for. and its not like i spend my time avoiding meeting someone else who i could love or get involved with. i don't avoid that. its just out of all of the opportunities i have ever had you were always all i could think about because you were always who i loved. i look at other girls and see stupid people that aren't you. i haven't given up on life because of you, you have given me the life i was meant for. that i ever wanted. if every person is only a half i found you and you fit perfectly into me. and we were whole. and being half again after knowing what it was like to be whole is impossible. and all i can do is continue being a half or filling the empty spaces with other halves that don't fit.

girl: see, i feel like since you have known me longer then anyone else, and i always forgive you and you always forgive me, i've become that ever present safety blanket. and while i love you, i sometimes question whether or not i'm just something to love strictly to have something constant

boy: all i can say is this. people believe in god. and that ultimately comes down to their brain telling them they have faith. that they know. that through some sense not of the normal 5 that god exist. they feel it. it is faith. i have been in a lot of relationships, many different kinds based around different things. different lengths. different types of people. but something inside of me. something more than love or logic or touch makes me feel that you are the one

girl: it doesn't mean i should live out my experience through you.

boy: no you shouldn't have to live your life through me. all i said is i was ready to live the rest of mine with you. but i never said i thought you should feel the same way. i just thought you did until now. and now i know. and i understand but it still fucking rips my heart apart. my soul apart. and thats just me being honest. not anything more or less. i love you and always will. no matter what. and i don't want you to stop talking to me. please?

girl: i won't stop talking to you. how could i. i will always talk to you.

boy: i just have to make sure i won't lose you. i assume you don't want me to come back now.

girl: i don't know. i always seem to be changing on you, don't i? i'm sorry for that. but i just refuse to deny my thoughts.

boy: your always becoming who you are, the person i am inescapably and completely in love with. but i'm going to go. i need. to do something. i don't know

girl: am i going to hear from you again?

boy: always. i just don't want to bother you.

girl: you don't bother me. you can talk to me any time at all.

boy: goodbye

girl: goodnight
