back to the start, but now with experience and sans the naïvety. how old do you feel, repeating those same old lines? knowing that they didn't work the first time?
"no. stop. don't." do you mean it? do you even try to sound like you do? it would almost be sarcasm if it didn't make your heart hurt, knowing it was futile. "you shouldn't." you're just doing this so you can say you tried. no one knows better than you that it doesn't work.
is it your fault that people relapse? that what you say won't always stick? "I love you you'remyfriend no don'tdothis" it all blends together into "pleasepleaseplease" and their response becomes "Iwon'tIwon'tIwon'tsorrysorrysorry." (but it really means "I will, but I'll be sorrysorrysorry")
we all want to be helpful, but we don't like being reminded that we're not good at it.
