mahayana
now
that
others
are
around
.
We
had
tentative
plans
to
get
together
because
you
wanted
to
see
me
sooner
.
I
awaited
in
anticipation
of
your
call
that
was
supposed
to
arrive
a
"
couple
of
days
"
later
.
nothing
.
You
thought
of
calling
me
but
forgot
.
You
called
5
or
6
days
later
to
say
that
we
can't
meet
because
you
made
dates
with
newly
reconnected
friends
.
Oh
I
see
.
Contemplate
this
last
concussion
to
our
friendship
.
For
this
is
not
the
first
bruise
to
have
assailed
us
.
Why
do
you
waste
my
time
for
merely
a
shrouded
acquaintance
?
You
know
that
is
not
how
I
relate
.
That
is
why
we
sundered
years
ago
because
with
me
-
it
is
all
or
nothing
.
Why
did
you
contact
me
?
I
hate
it
that
I
even
care
enough
to
be
hurt
like
this
.
I
responded
to
you
because
I
knew
that
you
needed
me
.
I
should've
known
better
than
to
sacrifice
myself
.
This
whole
situation
drives
me
to
say
goodbye
to
other
absent
-esq
friends
.
Who
needs
people
like
these
when
I
can
find
more
appropriate
solace
in
being
alone
?
I
tell
myself
-
don't
act
too
hastily -
don't
do
something
that
you'll
only
regret
.
But
the
bereaved
fact
is
that
no
matter
what
I
do
-
I'm
already
alone
in
these
commotions.
Knowing
what
I
have
to
do
disintegrates
.
I'm
dying
inside
keeping
you
around
.
Aloofness
is
just
a
matter
of
temporary
or
permanent
status
.
I
wish
I
could
be
a
surface
level
friend
that
didn't
care
as
intimately
as
I
do
.
I
hunger
to
dissociate
to
such
abysmal
levels
.
This
is
killing
me
inside
and
all
I
can
think
of
is
how
deplorable
all
of
this
makes
me
feel
for
even
having
been
devoted
in
the
first
place
.
But
what
it
really
comes
down
to
is
this
:
I'm
terrified
you'll
eventually
abandon
me
again
.
:
history
repeats:
So
I'll
make
haste
and
dissolve
my
lingering
essence
.
:
history
repeats:
and
years
will
go
by
without
a
thought
of
me
.
:
as
history
repeats:
