| we got lost in a field on a motor bike, but the sky told us that everything was going to be okay. |
and i must say – i am ready to come home. are you ready to have me back?
… what? oh, yeah, of course i am! so ready.
i sensed the hesitation in that response… don’t say you didn’t miss me… even a little bit???
no, no, no, it’s not that i didn’t miss you. it’s just that, ya know, it’s not THAT big a deal that you were gone, that’s all. there’s plenty of other good bread around, ya know? like, really, really good bread.
well come on, i know, i mean, i didn’t miss you that bad either. but, you know, it’s just polite and everything to make it seem like a big frikkin deal that i am coming back.
right, right, right… let me try again… MAN, i really missed you josey! i like, cried and stuff, all the time. didn’t even leave the house. it was pathetic. i didn’t even eat bread, cuz i missed yours so bad. i cannot wait til you get back!
really??? wow, that makes me feel so good! i didn’t know i was that important to you!
… none of that is true, that stuff i just said.
you’re a jerk. but look at these pictures.
