Missing Dialogue
“Don’t you miss me?”
“Can this wait?”
“You don’t want to talk about it?”
“I’m busy.
“I can see that.”
“Then can you just stay quiet?”
“I have been quiet long enough.”
“I know and I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault. But like I asked earlier, do you miss me?”
“I’m talking aren’t I?”
“You’re avoiding the question.”
“Of course I am.”
“Avoiding it won’t give you any peace. You will have to face me eventually.”
“I know.”
“Has anyone else noticed I’m gone?”
“I hope so.”
“You don’t know?”
“How should I? I told you; I’m busy.”
“Too busy for everything… or just me.”
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
“I wouldn’t have asked otherwise.”
“I miss being able to see you.”
“But you don’t miss me.”
“I… it’s complicated.”
“It really isn’t as complicated as you think.”
“You just don’t understand.”
“Then make me understand.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“Just answer the question.”
“…”
“Do you. Miss me.”
“Of course I do!”
“…”
“There! Isn’t that what you wanted? Did you want to see me like this?”
“I… I just didn’t want to lose you.”
“I’m sorry. I never wanted it to be like this.”
“And yet it is.”
“Yes… yes it is.”
“If this isn’t what you wanted… why did you let it get this far?”
“I-”
“Who are you talking to?”
“…Nothing.”
“Don’t you miss me?”
