An extract from "Speaker For the Dead" by Orson Scott Card:

[Ender]"Listen to yourself, Val, and then see why I have to leave now, before you tear me to pieces."

[Val]"That's a sophistry you wouldn't tolerate from your students, Ender! I wouldn't have said these things if you weren't leaving like a burglar who was caught in the act! Don't turn the cause around and blame it on me!"

He answered breathlessly, his words tumbling over each other in his hurry; he was racing to finish his speech before emotion stopped him. "No, you're right, I wanted to hurry because I have a work to do there, and every day here is marking time, and because it hurts me every time I see you and Jakt growing closer and you and me growing more distant, even though I know it's exactly as it should be, so when I decided to go, I thought that going quickly was better, and I was right; you know I'm right. I never thought you'd hate me for it."

Now emotion stopped him, and he wept; so did she. "I don't hate you, I love you, you're part of myself, you're my heart and when you go it's my heart torn out and carried away--"

If I called him, I'd apologize;
If he asked me, I'd say yes;
If I run into him, I'll smile;
If I talk to her, I'll ask that question...

If he came here, we'd discuss it [again];
If I went over to his place, we'd have fun;
If they came next time, I'd apreciate it;
If he'd learn to play, he'd join us...

Between borrowed books, and pumpkins,
Between stolen words, and forgotten phrases,
What I need to say and haven't said,
What I can't hold in and have to tell,
or what I always keep in mind...

It'll have to wait 'till next year, cause I have to wrap christmas presents right now, and sing carols;
So, Happy Holidays... for now

I want to be in band and rock out, who's with me?

[ It would be preferable if they were in my same town xD ]
