Happy for Me Take 1

What is this all about, Ben? What? I'm sorry, could you repeat that? Oh, I heard you fine, I just wanted to know if you had the audacity to say that again. Listen, sweetheart, I genuinely appreciate the sentiment, but if you think you'll find that you're several days too late, dare I say your actions have acquired that interest that you can no longer afford, nor do I even want from you. Oh, but trust me, I do get it. Oh, really, I do. After all, you were never really good at hiding anything from me, were you? Oh, no, no, no, don't get it twisted, darling. I am truly happy for you, truly, but I'm also happy for me right now, too. And I know what you want me to be, and I know what I was, and I know what I am, and I know that what I want to become. If anything, you did me a favor. Our stars did not align, but I truly needed help to see that. So thank you, truly, deeply, from the bottom of my heart, but you can make sure the door does hit you on the way out.
