The Non-Importance of Sadness





She said - Ok, so you’re not ready to forgive. And closed the door.


He waited, she would come back eventually.


When she did, he said -  It’s not about forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. Choices were made, stuff was said, time moved on.


She said – It’s not the people, it’s the situation.


He said – it hurt.


She said – I know.


He said – It still hurts, that’s all.


She said – you want it to hurt.


He said – I don’t , I want it to be like it was before.


She said – it is.


He said – no, it isn’t, it won’t be until new choices are made and stuff is done.


She said – your annoying.


He said – I don’t mean to be, it’s something to do with complicity.


She said – how?


He said – and trust.


She looked at him, she decided to listen.


He said – there was love.


She said – there still is.


He said – maybe love is too big a word, but there was trust and complicity.


She said nothing.


He said – they didn’t trust me completely, I would have trusted them all the way.


She said – so?


He said – so our complicity was broken.


She said – If there was complicity.


He said – I think there was.


She said – maybe there still is.


He said – maybe, it would be nice.


She said – make it happen.


He said – I can’t.


She said – why not?


He said – we have to be together, we aren’t, so there is no complicity.


She said – I don’t know if I understand.


He said – If we are together, it won’t be the same, not at first. 


She said – so it hurts?


He said – yes.


She said – do you like it?


He said – I don’t think about it.


She said – clearly you do.


He said – I’m sad, but it doesn’t matter.


She said – listen to what you are saying.


He said – It’s no longer important.


She said – That’s sad.


He said – that’s what I said. But for now it’s not important.
