him: | it's not a big deal to say, "hey, i miss you."
|
her: | yeah, it kind of is. what do i gain from it? relief from my own honesty? in the end, i'm still gonna miss them, and the only thing that would change is whether they know that or not.
|
him: | say it to me. practice.
|
her: | you're gonna miss me, i know it?
|
him: | that's not the same.
|
her: | i know. but it doesn't matter because you might think i'm joking, and that's the whole point. the sincerity is ambiguous, but if you believed it, we're still good. but if i said what i really wanted to say - well, i'm not joking, and there's only one way you can take it that it'd be okay for me.
|
him: | you can't keep doing that.
|
her: | so sue me.
|
him: | most people would be happy to feel something like that so strongly.
|
her: | it's unnatural is what that is.
|
him: | babe, that's called love. |
