In Your Head, Who Am I?
"It's quite common to fall in love, I believe, and most of us are bound to do it... Often for the wrong people, at the wrong time, if ever there is such a thing as the right person, which I personally think there isn't. Now, I now I'm not addressing the question here..."
"As usual."
"But you must be patient. This is important, and I wouldn't want you to think I'm misleading you in any way. I'm not... The thing is, I never thought I'd care so deeply for someone. It's been such a long time since I've felt this fire within; this urge to kiss and touch and feel... And the more I think about, the more I want to be with you, and it's not because I want to! It's because it's what's happening right now... I'm way too interested. I'm screwed. If I keep this up, I'll end up saying "I love you" in the end of our conversations, and swearing that I'm the one for you... The guy who'd do anything just to see you smile."
"I wouldn't mind having any of that. Would you?"
"Who wouldn't? But that`s just it... It`s not true. It never is.It`s all just an idea! A concept! A narrative, and you're nothing but a perfectly well developed character of a perfect girl... You laugh at my jokes. You think I`m amazing. Our sex is magical... You act as if I'm some sort of mentor figure, and it's not because it's true, but because deep inside you know it turns me on, and makes fall deeper in love with you. It's all a narrative. You are a narrative, and I'm the one who pitched all the ideas and gave you the pen... It's all made up."
"Tell me something... You're an open minded guy, aren't you? You take pride in being so, right?"
"I do... I am. Why?"
"Open your mind, then. What if you're wrong? What if it is real? What if I am exactly the way you described? A perfect character of a girl you wish to have in your life... What if?"
"That can't happen."
"Why not?"
"Because then I'd be in love with you. Can you picture that?"
