Heart attacks at intervals

And I remember the great words of my friend George, “5 seconds of lip to lip contact can last for 5 years…if you do it right”
Sitting here, in my car waiting for a chance to light up again, making myself semi-prepared for that last ditch effort that I put forth every time I meet with her. She doesn’t believe in romance, I’m more of hopeless romantic then Lloyd Dobler, this mixture is like an agnostic and a catholic. So I sit here for a second, studying the fine job that I’ve done Armor-All-ing my steering wheel…you can see the little lines in it, pretty sweet if you ask me.
Jamie said I was in love…Jamie is a damn liar…Jamie is a damn liar who is so fucking right, damn her, damn her and her damn not lying. You’re supposed to lie to me, supposed to give me false hope, build me up for a massive collapse then when I do fall you’re supposed to be like, “well you tried” so here I am…trying…fuck I need a square, a single square would calm my nerves, however quitting was last years New Year’s Resolution and I am such a damn creature of habit that I carry out my fucking resolutions…I grab a stick of gum, next year’s resolution, quit the damn chewing habit
I hate this feeling and love it at the same time. My heart is in my throat and simultaneously in my stomach. Its doing the foxtrot back and forth, meanwhile stomping on my lungs…I can’t breathe…I can’t breathe…I think I’m having a heart attack
You aren’t having a heart attack
Yes I am
Are not
Chest pains
You’re 20 years old
Shortness of breath
You still have your damn seatbelt on and its choking you
Oh
Dickhead
Hey
Get you ass out of the car
If I wanted to be bossed around by myself I’d…
You’d what? You’d have no love life, now get your ass out of the car
Yes
Just “Yes”?
Yes sir
Damn right, yes sir, you owe all your best times to me
What about last Tuesday
That was your gut doing the thinking
Yeah, shouldn’t listen to him should I
Hell no, listen to the heart, on occasion I’m always right
That doesn’t even make sense
Shut up and ring the bell, we’ve got business to take care of

- Another add on to "Midwest" hopefully it'll be so crappy someone will feel sorry for me and buy it -
