Iris: Shush. You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living.

Iris - Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.
Miles - Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby: I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.

I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door.
I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual.
Quisiera encontrar una puntita despegada en el empapelado de la realidad, y tirar de ella, y abrir una puerta hacia otra realidad. Una realidad donde exista sólo el amor, donde no importe el tiempo ni las distancias, y pueda caminar agarrada de su mano sin darme cuenta (pero tan presente).
Quisiera escapar. Dejar atrás todos estos pensamientos manchados, los pensamientos insanos, los pensamientos guardados acumulados olvidados. Dejar atrás el recuerdo, el dolor, el rencor. Dejar atrás el amor.
Quisiera volver a nacer, para sentirlo de nuevo.

- ¿Cómo es tu apellido?
- Vespa.
- Ah, como el primer scooter...
- Sep. (Aburrida) También significa "avispa" en italiano.
- Uh, entonces hay que tener cuidado con tu aguijón.
- Y... También soy Escorpión.
- Mamita querida. Lo único que falta es que me digas que sos Serpiente en el horóscopo chino.
- Exactamente.

Soy como una pelotita de esas chiquititas saltarinas, que caaaaaaae hasta el fondo del pozo más profundo y oscuro, rebota, y vueeeeeeelve a subir hasta la superficie, donde un rayo de Sol acaricia mi frente. Para volver a caer.
Y si no hay nadie que me ataje en la mitad y me guarde en su bolsillo calentito, o que me haga rebotar nuevamente, el impulso va disminuyendo, y ya no llego a la superficie.
El movimiento cesa. Sólo veo silencio.
Me acurruco en un rincón sucio y mojado. Olvidada.
Y una sensación se apodera de mí; como un líquido frío y metálico que se mezcla con mi sangre y recorre mi pecho, garganta y brazos... quitándome el aliento, y con el aliento las fuerzas.
Pero díganle al niño que no se preocupe, que ya le regalarán otra pelotita nueva.
