Words from the heart

So I was reading some fiction on the net by Mathew Haldeman-Time. And though his taste in genre might not be to everyone's liking, he's an extremely traditional romantic author and I'm a big sap so I love his work. All of it. I've read it several times. But that's not the point. The point is that I was reading one of his stories and I came across the following quotes. It's pretty a self explanatory conversation between two people, but it just froze me for a second because I finally know how to describe what I'm feeling towards Jethro.

“I miss him,” he said. “He used to be - - he always talked to me. He really cared about me. We were tight. And now, I don’t know who he is. I don’t know how he’s going to talk to me. I don’t really want to know. If he’s different, that’ll fuck me up, because that means he was faking everything before. If he’s the same, that’ll fuck me up, because I won’t know if that’s even real.”

“No matter what happens, you won’t trust what you guys used to have.”


"Yeah."
