You say “Don’t you care about me?” I say “Of course I do.” I don’t say “He said that to my mother after he came home drunk.” I don’t say “You say that when I think you’re turning into him.” You say “I can’t live without you. Don’t leave me.” I say “Baby, I never will.” I don’t say “He said that so my mother would say in his power for three more years.” I don’t say “I’m only staying because I’m scared you’ll **** yourself.” You say “We’re just friends. You’re supposed to trust me.” I say “I do trust you. It’s okay.” I don’t say “That’s what he said before he took my sister and raised her with another woman.” I don’t say “You look at her with more love than you give me.” You say “Don’t I mean more to you than your friends?” I say “You mean more to me than anything.” I don’t say “He said that so he would own her.” I don’t say “You’re suffocating me.” You say “You can’t leave.” I say “Watch me.”
