You see yourself through his eyes, as The Generic Woman, the skirted symbol on the ladies' room door. When he says, \"I love you, honey,\" you realize that he never call you by your name. You will say good-bye for all the right reasons. You're tired of living in wait for his apocalypse. You have your own fight on your hands, and though it's no bigger or noble than his, it will require all your energy. It's you who has to hold on to earth. You have to tighten your grip - which means letting go of him.”",
