Some Velvet Morning Page #2

No, its fine, it's fine, it's

fine.

It just felt like you were just trying to

push me out the door, at least in your mind.

I wasn't. I wouldn't do that.

I'm not that kind of person.

I know that. I know that. I know that. I

know that now, and I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

You do keep checking you watch.

Yeah, I just have somewhere to

be.

You've made that very clear. You were not expecting me.

You've made that very clear.

I wasn't. It was a surprise.

A good one, I would have hoped.

Yeah, a shock even, but a good

one, yes.

Yeah, really? A good one?

Yes, a good one. It's nice to

see you.

It's nice to see you, too. It's

been a while.

- Yeah, years.

- I know.

And I did what I said I would

do, didn't I?

I stayed away.

No matter how hard it was, and it was

particularly hard at the beginning...

when we had first broken it off,

but...

I mean, I stayed away.

- I appreciate that.

- Yeah.

I kept my promise. I mean, there were

those e-mails and those phone calls...

and the birthday gift that I sent

you, that little iPod thingy...

with your name engraved on it...

but really, for the most part...

I did what I promised you I

would do, I stayed away.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

For being a gentleman.

Well, I don't know about that...

but I did what I said I would

do.

- Thanks.

- For a long time.

So.

So, yeah.

That's an understatement, right?

Yeah, so, what the hell do I do

now?

I mean, honestly, what?

You're not seriously asking my

advice on this, are you?

Kinda, yeah.

I'm not really in a good

position to answer that, Fred.

You just show up, your bags

scattered at your feet.

I don't really have answers for

a puzzle like that one.

I don't know what to say.

Okay.

- I'd like to help you, but I can't.

- Yeah, no, I know. I'm not expecting you to...

help me get out of this mess

that I created for myself here.

I wouldn't expect that of you.

Good.

I was just hoping you might throw a

few ideas my way, you know, but...

- I told you to call you wife.

- Gee, thanks.

- Well?

- Well what?

What good is that gonna do? Make

me say the words, "I left you"?

I think she got it. The empty closet

should be a pretty strong indication...

that it wasn't like the rapture

or anything.

Then maybe you should just do

what you want to do.

I am. I'm here.

I wanna be here.

I mean, is that what you're asking me?

What is it that I want to do exactly?

Like if you're saying, "What is it that exactly you want to do?

Where exactly do you want to be?"

Then that would be here with
