An increasingly awkward conversation

Oh, hey, what’s up? Yeah, no, I just popped in here real quick to…

Yeah, I didn’t realize you’d be here either. What’s it been, a few days, huh?

Oh, a week? Really? Oh, well…

Oh, me? Not much really, just kind of hanging out. What about you?

That’s cool. Yeah, it’s nice to take it easy sometimes and…

What’s that?

You’ve been waiting for me to get in touch? Yeah, well, about that, we’ve been together for a long time, almost three years. Sometimes I just want to do my own thing.

No, it’s not because I don’t like you…

Of course I still like you…

Oh come on, don’t start crying… alright, just relax… relax…

What I’m trying to say is that sometimes I feel like I have to see you every day…

Well, to be honest, sometimes I don’t want to see you every day…

Look, you just told me to be honest, and now I’m being honest and you’re throwing a fit. You don’t make any sense.

Yes, I like you.

Yes, you’re fun.

No, I don’t want to spend all my time with you.

I know I used to see you a lot more in the past, but I like to think the stuff we’ve done recently has been more meaningful.

Yes, really.

Yes, honestly, I’ve been much happier with what we’ve been doing in the past year more than what we did the first year we were together.

Yes, exactly. That’s just what I was trying to say. I’d much rather spend a week apart and then get back together and have it be good than to see each other 8 or 9 times a day and have it be just okay.

What?

Yes, I know other people do it dozens of times a day. They do it well. We don’t do that well.

I don’t know why we can’t do it that way, but we’ve tried it and it just doesn’t work.

It just doesn’t.

Because I don’t have the energy for it.

Yes, it’s all me.

Great. Great, I’m glad you’re getting a laugh at the fact that I can’t do it multiple times a day.

Well it takes two to make this thing work, and I can just go find something else to keep myself busy if you’d like. See you in another week.

Yes, I’m serious.

Yes, seriously serious.

Right.

I agree.

Okay, fine. You’ll be my one and only, and I’ll make sure that it’s as good as it can be, as frequently as possible.

What?

No, I don’t love you too.

Look, cry all you want, but I’m not going to tell my blog that I love it.

What?

No. It’s bad enough that I’m anthropomorphizing you for a blog post.

Yes, I think the sexual allusions now seem really weird too.

Look, let’s just not ever talk about this again, okay?
