If only I could retrace my steps

This is it, X tells me, I’m done talking to you. I’ve said all I have to say, all that has to be said, and if I haven’t someone else probably has. Someone must have. Don’t bother listening anymore, go bother someone else. Do you hear me? This is it, there’s nothing more to say, there’s been nothing more to say for a long time, maybe even since before I came here and started babbling, long before I took up with you. If only I could go back to wherever I was before, he says. If only I could retrace my steps!
