HOW ABOUT IT. how about friends on the field whose relationship gets markedly worse when they become teammates. who succumb to external pressures to compete and prove themselves and be the best and run everyone else out of bounds and act selfishly, selfishly, selfishly--so selfish that they can't bear if anyone else even looks at them. that only they understand what it's like to live like this (despite 18 other people knowing what it's like,) so they can't be vulnerable with anyone but they can't be vulnerable with each other but they can't be vulnerable with themselves. and everything is repressed and they love and trust each other so much (who keeps promises better than the person trying to keep you down) so they just don't know how much of it all is their decision. they want everything. they don't want anything. they need each other. if i loved you less i'd be able to talk about it more. love will tear us apart dot mp3
