How does it feel?
And what’s with the puffy eyes?
Been crying?
Look, it meant nothing.
Isn’t that what you said?
You gotta believe…
Don’t believe me, do you?
I should have guessed you wouldn’t have.
I’m ashamed to admit that I can’t even blame you for not taking me seriously.
In all fairness, I told you I was a ticking time bomb.
So don’t rinse my warning label from your lips when we kiss.
Oh, you want me to stop talking about kissing?
Fucking? Not that either?
Making love? Does that sound okay?
I was hoping…well, that you’d drop fucking dead.
Is that bad of me?
All things considered, I didn’t think so either.
I’d be cool with an apology instead, though.
Up for it?
