I… I’m just going to go…

I can't stop you.

Don’t you think I think that? I think about it all the time, a day doesn’t pass by where I don’t think about the fact that we’re not together anymore.

I'm so sorry, Max. I never wanted it to end like this, or end at all, but nothing I say is going to make it okay. Nothing I do is going to take the pain away. I'm hurting, too, and seeing you now... Well, it certainly doesn't make it easier.

Fuck, I sh-shouldn’t have done that… Why am I so stupid?

You're not stupid, but you can't just... We're not together anymore, you know? 

Max-- Stop! I can't! 

Oh right, of course you do. I’m glad that you are settling in there though. I’m really happy for you and I bet it’s a lot of work. It went so great. I wish that you could have been there. Everything was working so perfectly. I didn’t get to sing any of my own songs though but it was still great.

Thanks. I wish so, too. It would have been amazing to see you in front of a huge crowd. Why didn't you get to sing any of your own songs? Do you have to only sing songs you sang on the show?

I want you to… F-fuck, I don’t know. 

I'm sorry. 

Damn, right?! If I had kids and they were doing even just half the shit we were doing that age I would most likely cry, oh my god. 

Oh, god, please don't even say that. I'd be horrified, and if they were do turn out like us, I hope I never find out. 

Doesn’t mean it could be thrown away, just like that…

What do you want me to say, Max?

Aw, it really does! Man, those were the days. Kinda wish I could turn back time just to experience that all over again, but duude we were so young. We were such badasses

Dude, same, everything was amazing back, then, haha. Oh, shit, yeah, I keep forgetting how young we were, damn. We were way ahead of our time. 

All at once? Sounds like the best time of life. Casually hanging out and having sex with loads of crumbs. 

Sounds exactly like the good old days. 

You didn’t think… You didn’t think that we were worth the effort? 

Of course we were. I just. We never had time to talk. Not on the phone, not skype, nowhere. Barely even had time to text each other. And when we did it was quick and it just... I guess it just hurt too much. 

Thanks you. Where did you even get a house, is it a nice neighborhood? Tell me all about it.

I didn't get a house. I have a house, kinda, a little outside Paris, but for now I'm living in an apartment down the street from the uni, so it's pretty great. Not much to tell, though, just a lot of work. Like, a lot. How did the tour go?

Why didn’t you call me back? 

I don't really have an answer you want. I couldn't do the long distance thing, and it just... seemed easier.  

I’ve actually been pretty good. I mean, of course I miss some of the faces that I used to see around here but I’m hanging in there. How about you?

Yeah, I can understand that. Good on you, though. I've been good. Settling nicely in overseas, so it's been nice. 

That’s… that’s, uhm, nice.

Yeah... How are you, Max?

Oh, okay. Heeeeey, babee! D’you wanna hang out? Have sex? Eat cookies or whatever? 

Bonjour, babe! Of course, all of the above, please and thank you. 

Oh. Well, welcome back.

Thank you. How've you been?
