The Last Five Years (Minus One and a Half)

I should probably refrain from listening to musicals which encapsulate too perfectly my feelings. It doesn't even make me feel better about myself. I look at the relationship it depicts, I recognize the man as me and the woman as her; neither of them are people I particularly like, but I love them both. The end of their marriage is simultaneously inevitable and heartbreaking.

Aristotle would say it's a tragedy, but then again, Aristotle didn't know shit about love.

Cathy: I will not be the girl/who gets asked how it feels/to be trotting along/at the genius's heels
Jamie: If I did't believe in you/I'd never have loved you/at all.
