You're Not Always What You Say

Here are the things I should have said:

1. Your hand fits well in mine.

2.After months of solitary sleep, I think I could get used to you wrapped around me, even though you snore.

3. I know you're scared, and you're worried about what he would think, but I truly believe that we could be something special together, if only you let me.

4. If you only let me, I would be the best girlfriend you'd ever had. I'd take care of you, feed you well, rub your back after a hard day at work, make you laugh when you're grumpy in the morning, cajole you into running with me and cutting back on the chain-smoking, keep you warm at night.

5. Seven years is long enough to know that this is a true friendship. Seven years should be long enough for you to figure out that we are right together, and no one, not your ex or my ex, should stand between that.

6. We may both be broken, but maybe together we could heal faster.

7. If this was just a fling, you shouldn't have held my hand that way.

Here are the Things I said:
1. Dude.

2. Of course we're cool, you're my buddy.

3. I could set you up with her if you want.

4. Yeah, commitment sucks doesn't it? Not my thing at all.

5. I'm so happy to be single right now.

6. This whole experience has made us closer as friends, right?

7. I understand this is just a fling. Don't worry, I won't get attached or turn psycho on you. It's all good.
