Conversation Between Heart and Mind

Written January 6, 1999

I can never see him again
You'll see him again
No...he's gone forever, he'll never come here again
You're wrong. You see him every day! Of course you'll see him!
Oh no...there he goes...wait! Wait!!
Let him go. You can do better. Who needs him anyway?
Help...it hurts so...it's wrenching away...no...
He's coming back...
No...
Don't let him take your hand! It'll only make it worse!
Leave, leave! Before I hold you too hard,
Before I kiss you too long,
Before I love you too much,
No! Please, please don't go!
It's too late...he's gone
Why!? Why did you let me give myself away to him in the first place?
You know how stubborn you are
You wanted what couldn't last
Now you're sorry, and the pain is something that will last
I need him so much, mind.
No, heart. I'll help you get through it.
I'll tell you twisted stories
I'll keep you happily preoccupied
I'll make sure you aren't susceptible any time soon
Don't ever let me fall in love again.
Never?
Never.
You'll become cold, lifeless
You won't beat with that happy rhythm you're known for
No one will want to know whether you ever existed
They'll be repulsed
I don't care
I can't let that happen
Forget it
No
I'm incapable of love forever
He's back
No! Please...I love him!
I can't let you hurt
Let me hurt! Let me die happy in his arms!
He won't keep these new promises
Who cares! You're the one who said ‘Live for the moment!'
You're sure this is what you want?
Of course I'm sure, silly!
Don't you know this is what makes me truly happy?
Alright
I'll step out again
Maybe you shouldn't bother calling me later
After it's over...again
After what's over? Nothing can go wrong!
Goodbye, heart, you're gone again.
