Are you crying?

Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.

Why? What is it?

I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I got to learn how to do that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?

Oh, Mom. I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You got to self-protect.

You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?

I think it's worth trying.

Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.

Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?

I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.

I've never had the time of my life.

I know, baby. And I say this is from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
