That took several years off my life

So, can I trust you not to go about trying to repeat the experience any time soon? Or do anything else foolish that is going to get yourself killed? Because no matter how angry I am at you, I would never want you dead. And I don't want you living a lie just because you think that's what I want. All I want, all I ever really wanted from you, is

I....I won't try again. I'm sorry. I'm osrry for not telling you...but I really thought...

...But-...okay, not going anywhere. Right.

I just....you don't have to talk through anything unless you want to. I'm okay, you don't have to force yourself into anything because of me.

You say all these things but....I just....it's okay. I won't try that again, you can stop worrying about me...can stop wasting your time...

What could you have possibly thought... never mind. Don't answer that right now. Explanations can wait until we're ready for that discussion. Because I don't want you feeling defensive because I sound accusatory. I don't want to accuse you of anything, I just want to understand why you felt this was the only route you could take

Because....because what else was I going to do? I don't how to find you outside of this place, you were so upset and I thought I was never going to see you again...and without you this life really has nothing to keep me in it...so...

...But...but what if I do something really bad...? Something that really upsets you? No one can forgive everything...

Just...you're so distant with me now and you're so upset....who wants to be with someone who makes them upset? Of course I want to re-establish our firendship, but...but I don't want to force you into anything. You don't need to stick around just to watch out for me or some silly reason like that...I'm okay, really. I've spent the last three years on my own, I can handle it...I can....

But....you shouldn't have to worry about me....not worth it...all I do is upset you...

Why... why didn't you give me a chance, wait a few days to see what would I do... I was only gone three days... didn't you trust me or did you think I was just toying with you, talking about caring but never really meaning it?

Oh, is there an encore performance to the current mess that I need to be aware of? Honestly, I'm going to forgive you this, so I do not know what else you could possibly do that I wouldn't forgive. Especially since I can't see you doing anything deliberately to hurt me.

You're not forcing me into anything, I'm not doing this just to watch out for you, or any other silly reason you can think up. Don't you understand, I'm doing what I want. You're my friend, you don't have to be alone not when I'm here. I won't leave you... not again.

You are worth it! You're worth it to me, so much... and you don't just upset me. Yes, I'm angry now, but there are so many good times I've had with both versions of you that in the end, that's what matters. The times we laughed and played, we sat on rooftops and talked for
