The Minutes of That Relationship

1. "I'm in AWE of you."

2. "Have we been talking for that long?"
    (Inside joke.)
    (Bottomless laughter.)
                             
3. "I like watching you when you don't know I'm watching you. Drinking wine, walking across the room. That's how I know I'm in love with you. I could watch you brush your teeth and it's the best thing ever."

4. "I'm wet."

5. "This is what we're doing: We're falling in love."

6. "I can't wait until tomorrow. Let's meet up tonight."

7. "I can see myself beaming with pride saying, "That's my wife."

8. "I feel so embarrassed about last night. I'm so sorry. Take as much space as you need."

9. "It's stupid to be upset about this."
   "No, you're valid. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings."

10. "Can I just say, when you're on the phone saying the phrase, "I'm gonna let you go" ...you're making it sound like you're doing me a favor, when really what you're saying is, "I need to leave for my own personal reasons." You know what I mean?"

11. "Is that what you need from me right now?

12. "I'm sorry I'm such a mess right now."

13. "Maybe we should take a break?"

14. "I don't want to be with anyone else."

15. "Can we call the breakup off? I know it was my idea, but it stinks. It's no good and it's awful, and I love you."

16. "I think this is for the best. I just need some space for me."

17. "I don't know how anyone gets through this. It hurts too much."
     (Uncontrollable sobbing.)

18. (TIME)

19. "Hey. I just wanted to see how you are doing. I love seeing your facebook posts. I hope we can be friends."

20. "Honestly? I'm so over it now, I hardly remember what all the fuss was about."
