Getting It
Please, just stop.
...
You’re not hearing me.
...
I’ve been plenty loud, you just weren’t listening for the right things.
...
You don’t get it.
...
No, you do not get it.
...
If you got it, you wouldn’t be responding like this.
...
You just don’t see where I’m coming from, that’s all.
...
Okay please just-
...
All right fine. I have accepted that you will never understand my message, but will you just please understand that you, in fact, do not understand?
...
Just understand that you don’t understand. Okay?
...
You don’t. You do not. You never will, and that’s okay. I see that now. We just need to face that. I was wrong to come to you with this. I apologize. Just know that I’m in pain. A pain I hope that you do not ever understand.
...
No, I don’t need you to understand the pain. I don’t want you to feel my pain; I want you to understand that I am in pain. I clearly failed in this goal. So, I digress from this. Now my only objective is for you to understand that you don’t understand. Okay?
...
Have you seen the lighter?
