I would have done anything for him. maybe that was my sickness. we made love in nothing places and turned the lights off. it felt like crying. we could not look at each other. it always had to be from behind. like that first time. and i knew he wasn't thinking of me. he squeezed my sides so hard, and pushed so hard. like he was trying to push me through to somewhere else. why does anyone ever make love?

I smiled at him, as doyle squeezed my hand and i squeezed back. "some people are addicted to falling in love, doctor. some people love that rush of new emotions, and when that first rush of new love is spent, they move on to the next, thinking the love wasn't real. what i felt in her, and potentially in you, is the love of years. love that knows that that first rush of freshness isn't the real thing. it's the tip of the iceberg.

I am crying, he thought, opening his eyes to stare through the soapy, stinging water. i feel like crying, so i must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because i'm underwater. but he wasn't crying. curiously, he felt too depressed to cry. too hurt. it felt as if she'd taken the part of him that cried.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
