Found something from my whiney adolescent phase
. Pretty short, give it a try? It's modeled a little off of the short blurbs that begin each chapter of "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card.

"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I don't love you any more."
"..."
"You should move on. Forget me."
"You're lying. Why are you lying to me?"
"How do you know I'm lying?"
"Because you're still holding my hand."
"I''m serious, you should forget me."
"Why are you saying that!"
"Because you shouldn't be tied down by someone like me."
"..."
"You deserve the best. How will it feel to wait and wait...forever? What happens if you're sad and I'm not there. I can't expect you to wait. I want you to forget me and live your life."
"Are you afraid of commitment or something?"
"No, I'm not. But four years ia a long time. I'm telling you that I'll love you for that time, but you don't have to love me."
"You've lost me."
"This isn't easy to say, because what I'm telling you to do is not what I want you to do."
"Then why tell me to do it?"
"When you love someone, you have to learn to let them go."
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"I want you to be happy, not waiting for some kid to come back half a decade later."
"Let me ask you something. What makes you think that I won't be happy to just wait?"
"Because I know about waiting. And when I wait, I'm miserable."
"Then why wait?"
"Because-"
"Some things are worth waiting for."[/b]
Some of the dialogue is a little bit stilted, but not much. Is the time frame current day? Or is it set in an earlier time? I guess that would make a difference to me as I read it.
