The Perfect Couple

My boyfriend was with another woman. He had another woman. He had simply forgotten about me. He was dating this girl as if he had never met me before. At first, I saw myself in the corridor of this girl house. Her house was of course her house and also some kind of tax office. All kinds of paperwork could be done there. Marriage certificates, birth certificates, and so on. I have no idea why I was there. I was sitting in a chair in front of a desk. Behind this desk was a woman, dealing with some papers. The place didn't feel like a home, but more like an office. The corridor was all white, the doors were gray and only the desk stood up from the rest. A brown wood desk with a lot of papers and an middle-age woman behind it.

The girl, my boyfriends woman, came out trough a door nearby. She went to the desk an signed a paper. When I look at it I could see that she was signing some kind of statement saying that she have done an abortion. I could only guess that it was my boyfriends son and I was wondering if he new about this. I was taken by a strange felling of happiness. I thought that if I could tell my boyfriend that his woman had done a abortion he would leave her and be only with me. I'm not proud of this feeling or this thought, but I could not help it. It turned out that the woman behind the desk was the girls babysitter. She came to me and said: "You must be very happy... she aborted." I pretended I was really sad.

Then, suddenly, I saw myself in the kitchen. The girls father was also in the kitchen with me. He told me how a great couple my boyfriend and his daughter were. He told me they were in love like anyone else. They did everything together. They liked the same stuff. They talked for hours. They were always going out, having fun, doing incredible things together. They were a perfect couple and I should not interfere in their relationship. Her babysitter also came to me. And repeated everything the girls father said.

I was tired of hearing all that stuff. I couldn't believe my ears. I couldn't believe they were describing exactly what me and my boyfriend usually did together. How we felt for each other. They were describing my relationship with him, but the girl was not me, but another. And I was interfering...
