JS: You want what they had. And thinking about that makes you cry.
Patient: Yes. Cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die without that.
JS: She loved him and she felt he loved her in return.
Patient: And if my relationship with Rachel doesn’t work out, I’m never gonna find that with another person. I’m out of time.
JS: You are here, crying and talking to me. You are alive. It feels from where I sit, that you have the gift of time.
Patient: What good is time if you don’t have your partner.
JS: Time is allowing you to find that love you crave. You may have already found it.
Patient: No. We aren’t there. We aren’t even close. She is always out just of reach. Aloof.
JS : But yet you stay with her year after year. And she stays with you. Do the two of you have your own “thing?” Is someone else telling their therapist right now “I want what they have?”
