You’re in denial. You do know. You just need to give in. Let the pain consume you….just for a little while. I’ll be here to help you through it.

You’re right. You are okay. But you won’t be for long if you don’t accept this as the truth. There is no way to get over it. That’s impossible.

What are you talking about? Of course it’s possible.

You’re delusional, baby. You have to take the initiative if you want me to help you.

I don’t want you to help me. I don’t need help. You don’t understand.

I don’t need to understand. What you need now is a hug and a mug of cocoa and someone to listen. I can be that.

I’m not a child.
