(In Case It Happens)

Him: So yeah, we probably shouldn't see each other anymore.
Me: Really? I thought things were going alright, but ok, I guess you're right.
Him: I am?
Me: Yeah. I mean, you make me feel like I'm totally crazy. I know you have baggage, I get it, but it's unfair to put it all on me.
Him: Isn't that what people do? Isn't that what makes us tick?
Me: Yeah, I guess, but I don't like it. And I don't want you to do it. And I don't wanna deal with it.
Him: I didn't do it on purpose. It's just always with me.
Me: Well, I do feel sorry for you, carrying that load with you always, that sucks. But I don't like having to deal with it. It's not MY load, you know?
Him: If you like me, it IS kind of your load. You have to take all of me, even my load.
Me: I thought we were breaking up? This sounds like making up.
Him: Were we even officially ever together? Is "breaking up" even the right term?
Me: Regardless. Can I give you a piece of advice? Some parting words [air quotes here]?
Him: Um.
Me: You can't go through life expecting people to act a certain way in situations because chances are, they probably will. Keep that in mind. Crazy is as crazy does. If you build it, they will come. All that jazz.
Him: [blank look]
Him: I don't know what to say to that.
