When Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux were courting, did they have to make a list?
I am three years younger than your father.
You were a teacher in my high school while I was in high school.
I was married to someone else before you were born.

Or was it something more like this:
“You are so fucking smart. I love it.”
“Your hair looks great like that!”
“I feel so much better when I know that you are in the same room that I am in.”
“I am certain that my favorite memories will have you in them.”
“Let’s go to bed.”

 

 

One Time

August 25, 2017

One time someone I know pretty well said, “You try too hard.”
And I said, “Fuck you. How’s that?”
And one time someone I barely know said, “Stop apologizing.”
And I said, “Fuck you. How’s that?” and then I said, “Never mind. Fuck you.”

Resolution

August 25, 2017

I decided I was going to stop having feelings and my friends were like, “You can’t do that. That’s impossible.”
And then they stared at me for a long time and I had feelings almost right away.
