I don't do feelings. But if you want to start blubbering, have at it. I will gladly call her the nastiest names in my vocabulary and forget this entire conversation in the morning.
[God, how do you explain someone who barged into your life and integrated herself so seamlessly that the thought of living without her isn't even possible anymore? He can't love her, can't give her what she wants, but it doesn't want to just break her heart and be rid of her like he has so many before. His head falls on the counter with a thonk.]
In the past, this is the point where I hoof it to another dimension for a bit until she forgets about me.
