I woke up today and thought that
I can’t remember how we met.
You don’t?
No. Do you?
I was drinking coffee and watching the night sky.
I saw a bunch of shooting stars and one
landed in my cup.
That’s how I met you.
I don’t remember that at all…
I had a dream today about you.
In it you said that you love me. again.
I never told you I love you.
Not in person, but you have told me
in my dreams before.
I saw you at MoMA the other day.
I didn’t come up to say hi.
You looked happy.
I was happy. Thank you for not coming to me.
You’re welcome.
I thought your last poem
was nice.
Did you read it?
I skimmed over it.
What do you think is the
purpose of life?
What a silly question.
And still…?
The purpose of life is life itself.
And nothing more?
And nothing more.
I still owe you dinner.
Let’s meet in the next life and
you’ll get me dinner.
How will I know it’s you?
You’ll find a dog with
sad eyes. Feed it.
I saw your new movie
yesterday.
Thanks, but you didn’t have to.
I thought one of the characters
resembled me.
Yes.
You never do anything.
You never ask me what I do.
My mom was asking about you
today.
I’ve always liked your mom.
She liked you, too.
Still does.
Do you remember
our first kiss?
I still have a scar from it.
Sorry
I never told you this,
but you were my first love.
I know.
How?
Sometimes you call me
in the middle of the night
and tell me.
Sometimes I worry
about you.
Why?
I don’t think you can live
like you do
for long.
I don’t think
you understood me once.
??
Even now
you don’t understand.
I wish I never met you.
I do, too.
Remember when we used to dance in the rain?
Of course,
I had pneumonia
and spent three weeks in the hospital.
Was it worth it?
When I’m not in love with you,
you bore me,
and when I’m not bored,
I hate you so much.
I thought about what you said
and I think it’s better
if you don’t call me anymore.
Why?
Because I’m afraid I’ll pick up…
Why did you even go out with me?
I was never your type anyway.
Yeah, you weren’t.
An exception just proves a point.
Do you still drink coffee at night?
Yes, but I make sure
to do it inside now,
so no shooting star
can land in my cup.
