P says:

L says:
i figured since you said i'm emo... i'm a tom?
P says:
but u look quite a summer.
P says:
anw, summer is actually really emo.
L says:
why??
P says:
u dont think?
she only de-emofied herself towards the end when she's married.
L says:
i need to go and watch again
P says:
definitely worth the watch.
L says:
i didnt think of it that way
P says:
u didnt think that it was worth the watch?
L says:
as in i didn't think from summer's point of view
now then i realised she de-emofied herself
P says:
yea she sure did.
L says:
you think she liked tom?
P says:
imagine, before she got married, she never had a reason to trust or to find heartfelt joy before.
she sure did, but he probably didn't give her the closure she needed.
but they were indeed vry happy together though,
L says:
thats the saddest thing
P says:
some parts of the movie i actually held it against tom for making everything about himself. u know?
L says:
wow
P says:
yes its sad, but if they ended up togetehr, then the beauty of the movie is goneeeee.
L says:
this is the first time i heard it from summer's pov
everyone around me sympathises with tom.
P says:
i do too, but if they had gotten married then we would have to sympathise with him forever cos he was always in awe with summer, but he never trully understood before. would u wanna be with someone whom u will never ever understand forever?
L says:
wow
i wouldn't
that's the beauty of it all, like you said

I didn't like the ending of the movie. Tom shouldn't have met Autumn and found love in her. I remember proclaiming it loudly to friends after the movie.
I didn't realise I was actually implying: It shouldn't be so easy!

And then a few days passed. And I realised I couldn't remember the movie as one whole, only in bits and pieces. It was shot that way- the scenes ran in circles and more circles. As we watched the film playing, we followed Tom's lead and ran in circles too.
Just like how the snapshots of our memories work.
My heart ached silently.

I'm a Tom, by the way. You?
