“I know that I’m a lesbian, and I know that even if Michael threw himself at my feet tomorrow, I wouldn’t take him back. But I also haven’t had chemistry like what we had with any of the women I’ve dated since. Why can’t I stop dreaming about Michael and let him go? And why can’t I stop comparing the chemistry I had with him to the chemistry I (don’t) have with the women I date?”
