"no. no you aren't."

"you can't honestly tell me you think this is worth our time. i'm done. i'm finished. the best years of my life have been spent. goodbye, cruel world. miss me not, for....well, i'm not worth missing. farewell, sweet love. thank you for your time. you came to fast and ended too soon. and with this, i end. adieu, adieu. yes, parting is such sweet sorrow. oh, but not for me. what a tragic end! heart, we will forget him! oh, have i gone insane? this is my not so happy ending. but, we loved every moment. thus, with a kiss, i die."
