You picked me up off the side of the road. You're so proud of your... your life alone here, why did you even bring me back with you?

[calms down a little]

You needed me.

...I don't know what I need. What I want.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I know.

That's why you need me. I'm not going anywhere.

You will find out what you want, what you need. It won't be me, but I'll be here, regardless.

I really don't understand you.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

You don't have to.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

I'm living with you. I should.

It's your choice.

And whatever it may be, you have a place here.

[well I guess the horrible feelings are easing up a bit, but now I just feel awkward.]

I just... you need to know that I don't always want to talk about it.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Which is fine. But I don't think that's always the case.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

If I want to talk about it, I'll do so.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

All right.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

I'm... going to wash up, and change.
