I am 25 and I have never been in love. That’s one of those facts that makes me Sit and stew and sigh like a dog on One of his off days.

I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I once drove twenty minutes to a Bakery to get my friend a cake for her 16th birthday with the face of her Favorite band on it. And she told me That was her favorite thing she’s ever Gotten and we watched fireworks all night.

I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have held someone after a breakup As they cried and cried and cried, And gave them my favorite jam and tea And told them that if love is an anchor That means it is also a boat. You will find Your way to harbor again.

I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have raised terrified kittens in my Bedroom. You let them sniff you first, You always let them sniff you, you put Out food, you don’t give chase. You wait. And one day they come to you. And sit on your lap and purr like A motor terraforming Mars itself.

I am 25 and I have never been in love. But I have picked myself up after all My worst days and given myself soup When I’m so sick I can’t stand And given myself cakes on the days I feel Like dead ashes and tape that’s lost its stickiness. I have licked my own wounds and healed my own Bruises, I have called myself beautiful Even when I don’t feel it.

I am 25 and I have never been in love. But maybe I have.

The layers in Gilbert’s confession

Gilbert is saying, here are all the amazing things that will happen if I marry Winnifred. I can’t believe all of these things are just being handed to me. I don’t feel worthy. What am I supposed to do? Do I do this momentous thing because it helps me?

And Anne says: Well why wouldn’t you? Why aren’t you jumping on it? Why are we talking about this when it is breaking me. What is holding you back?

And Gilbert says those three words: Just one thing.

To Anne, he is saying: I have all of these opportunities and I want them so badly, but you are holding me back.

But what Gilbert is really saying is: this one thing (you) outweighs all of these other amazing opportunities. YOU outweigh the combination of everything (school, money, Paris, a different life). And while my head says that is irrational, my heart says you are worth more.

That’s the crux of this miscommunication. Anne thinks she is holding him back, but he is trying (badly) to explain that a life with her is worth more than anything else. He is saying he would give it all up for her.

Thanks for coming to my Shirbert talk. Going to go die now.
