she said,why dont you leave me lovenotes anymore
he looked at her rolled his eyes and thought, oh fuck what have i got myself into.
she said, well?
he said,sometimes i get angry with you
she asked, all the time?
he said, no, but...
she said,but what?

he hesitated and she went in for the kill.

but what? you dont love me anymore is that it? you've had your fill and you're too gutless to tell me? are you hoping i'll leave you? that i'll get tired of the inattention and just walk away. well fuck you, you shit. fuck YOU.

her eyes filled with tears. he looked at her dead on.

no. fuck you bitch.

and then leaving her to her tears, he walked away.

as he descended the stairs he heard her voice echo down the stairwell. he ignored her. or at least he tried to. she was right. he had stopped sending her love notes. had he stopped loving her? is that why? he was so wrapped up in her somedays he couldn't even see straight. his friends thought he had lost his mind. he knew otherwise. he had fallen in love. head over heels in love with this woman. they had met by chance and he didn't know for certain what it was that kept them in each others orbit. but whatever it was it kept both of them coming back for more. and more. and more. like any passionate couple they fought. they fought loud and they made love loud. but there were the other times. when they made love quiet as mouses. he told her he loved her. he told her what she meant to him. he told her she was everything to him. she asked him why he loved her so. he responded with, because you love me so, that's why. and you know it. but then she got difficult. she got into black moods and nothing he said or did made any difference to her. she stopped caring about anything and he stopped loving her. maybe. he wasn't even sure. he could hear the hurt in her voice and it took all his discipline not to turn around and climb back up those stairs.
