I'm amusing myself right now singing a little Johnny Cash, "it ain't me you're looking for!"

Imagining the long string of people starting with my STBX that get to turn to each other and say it. Him with his delusions that comfort and wholeness would come from someone else "we're not making each other, happy, Z. (It ain't me you're looking for!) As if happiness came from new love interests!

Me with my delusions that H and I would have a family and grow old together. I pushed that idea. Not him. He was hardly excited about M.

"I'm not the one you want, babe
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you and more.

But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe."

His next target hopefully, turning to him, singing,

"You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And will love you for your life
And nothin' more.

But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. "

Me turning to wannabe MLC,

"Go away from my window! Leave at your own chosen speed!"
