A lyric(al) Interlude

"So, what do you do when somebody you're so devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you, and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through?
Do you cling to your pride and sing 'I will survive'
Do you lash out and say how 'dare you leave this way'
Do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away?"

--Maria Carey, who I never thought I'd ever have to quote.
