No were were not mad at you were just depressed

Oh Lenny, listen to me, now, everything alright with doc. I mean nothing happened. Well, actually a lot did happen. but I didn’t come to anything. Not because of me I’m afraid.
I mean I was thinking what will he say when he begs me to run away with him?
Will I have pity on his wife and those two half-Yankee children?
I mean can I sacrifice their happiness for mine? Yes! Oh yes! yes, I can! But he didn’t ask me. He didn’t even want to ask me. I could tell by this certain look in his eyes that he didn’t even want to ask me. Why aren’t I miserable! Why aren’t I morbid! I should be humiliated devastated! maybe these feelings are coming… I don’t know
But for now it was ..just such fun. im happy I realized I care about someone. I could want someone. and I sang I sang all night long. I sang right up into the trees! but not for old grandaddy None of it was to please old grandaddy!
