up　with　some　meaningful；　epic　fuckinglove　poem　about　those　two　morons。？　？Thanks；？　Dan

mumbled　sarcastically。　？You？ve　filled　me　with　confidence。？　He　turned　over　to　face　her；　wanting　to

look　at　her　even　though　she　was　turned　away。　He　could　hear　the　small；　quiet　sound　of　her

breathing　in　the　dark　room　and　could　feel　the　warmth　of　her　almost…naked　body。　She　was　always

so　warm　at　night。　The　ridiculously　soft　skin　of　her　bare　arm　grazed　his。　One　of　the　things　he？d

why　should　she？　He　was　a　confused　pink…disco…suit…wearing；　cream…puff…eating；

gay…poem…reading　idiot　who　still　seemed　to　be　in　love　with　his　ex…girlfriend　despite　the　fact　that

every　person　in　his　life　had　apparently　been　waiting　for　him　to　e　out　since　he　learned　to　use
