❛ We should pretend it never happened. ❜

❛ I was having a bad day. I am having a bad day. ❜

❛ Boundaries don’t keep other people out; they fence you in. ❜

❛ Life is messy, that’s how we’re made. ❜

❛ What if I’m making a mistake I can’t undo? ❜

❛ Even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying. ❜

❛ You get any sleep? ❜

❛ Eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. ❜

❛ It’s just that I hardly know anything about you. ❜

❛ Lighten up. It’d be good for your blood pressure. ❜

❛ The problem with secrets is even when you think you’re in control, you’re not. ❜

❛ I am so sorry. ❜

❛ What are you doing here? ❜

❛ It’s got a nice ring to it. ❜

❛ What is going on out here? ❜

❛ You know what? It’s no big deal, you don’t have to lie. ❜

❛ Whatever happened to being practical? ❜

❛ Let’s play a game of whose life sucks the most. ❜

❛ You were like coming up for fresh air. It’s like I was drowning and you saved me. ❜

❛ Actually I prefer to be called ruler of all that is evil. But I will answer to Satan. ❜

❛ You could talk, you know, I mean, if you need to. ❜

❛ You said that word so many times today, it doesn’t even sound like a word anymore. Just saying you can talk to me. ❜

❛ Ironically that same family togetherness is thought to be the reason that depression rates actually do spike at the holidays. ❜

❛ But here’s the truth about the truth: It hurts. So we lie. ❜

❛ If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it? ❜

❛ You almost died today. ❜

❛ So this whole lying thing, this is working out for you? ❜

❛ This thing with us is finished. It’s over. ❜

❛ You’re not gonna die. ❜

“don’t do that. don’t shut me out.” 

“you’ve been crying. i can tell.”

“we need to change those bandages and get some food in you.”

“you want me to rub your back ’til you fall asleep?”

“that was a brave thing you did today.” 

“shh, that’s okay, get everything out.”   

“there’s something on your shirt. you – that’s blood!”

“need some space?”

“you should lay down.”

“there’s nothing wrong with asking for help.” 

“shh, shh. you were having a nightmare.”

“we can talk through the door.” 

“let’s clean you up and get you to bed, okay?”

“you almost died.” 

“i brought you a blanket.”

“you’re home. you’re safe.” 

“i’m worried about you.”

“is everything okay?”

“tell me how to make it better.”

“it’s been a tough few days. how are you holding up?”

“you have to stay awake. come on, give my hand a squeeze.” 

“you’re in the hospital.” 

“think you can make it to the bathroom?”

i’m not going to leave you.

i didn’t mean to hurt you.

… stay with me?

it’s okay. i still love you.

everything’s okay now.

let’s just forget about it, okay?

you can cry. i won’t judge.

i’m trying. i really am.

do you want a hug?

can we… lay here? and do nothing?

i’m sorry if i made you angry.

can you tell me what i did wrong?

please come back. i’m sorry.

hey… is something wrong?

you can stay with me. 

i’m here, i’m here.

what do i have to do to make you happy?

…i care about you a lot, you know.

why do you still care about me?

c’mere. lean on me.

you look like you need a hug.

just stay a little longer. please.

please stay with me. i don’t want to be alone.

i’ll stay as long as you need me to.

it was always you.

i’ll come back for you. i promise.

i would be lost without you.

what would you say if i told you i’m in love with you?

you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

i wish you could see how much i need you.

all i want is for you to be happy.

the thought of losing you makes it hard to breathe.

i’ve missed you.

why did you come back?

why did you leave?

i thought you were dead.

not a day goes by without me thinking about us.

what we had were special. i can’t let that go.

would you do it all again if you had the chance?

there are things i just can’t explain.

i guess i just never figured you out.

i know you can’t forgive me.

i want you to want to stay.
