Nothing happens always. Almost nothing.

It hurts, it ALMOST always does.

I distrust the always applied to almost any statement.

I cannot say with any degree of certainty that what you would say to me would be innocuous.

I cannot say that we won't both hurt.

But it would bring some closure, and THAT is what I'm so intent on.

That you should be able to have one more friend in this cold world.

Even if that friend would love to be more than that, but you won't let him in. Fine. As I said before, it's not the first time I dealt with rejection.

And, if this is a misunderstanding, and if you were seeking for me (and still do, maybe?)

It does not have to hurt. Not always.

And, if it has to, can we make it a little less?
