If your tears had a voice, what would they be saying?

they never left a number.

THE CALLER YOU HAVE REACHED IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP. WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED RECORDING, PRESS POUND. YOU CAN THEN LEAVE A CALL-BACK NUMBER.

Hello.

it's been a while, hasn't it?

You haven't needed us for a while, ever since the breakup

and the new medication and all.

I mean, we still hang out every so often, going to the movies and stuff,

but it's...different, you know? We used to be together like all the time, sometimes weeks on end. I know people didn't really approve of us being together so much, but that 'codependence' crap is all rumor anyway. 

But I'm getting way ahead of myself. 

Look. I know that you think I brought out the worst in you, and I'm sorry for that. Honestly. 

I shouldn't have pushed you so hard, made you feel so bad about yourself. No wonder people got so worried about you, hanging around a downer like me.

Maybe, if we ever become less dysfunctional...you'll give us a call?

Think about it.

BEEP.
