Too Late

by Jacinta   Oct 12, 2005


\"I love you\" she says
He looks at her like he\'s stupid
\"Didn\'t you hear me? I.. am... in... love.. with.. you...\"
she says slowly stressing each word.
\"I know you do. Is that what you wanted to tell me?\"
He says looking around.
\"You know I do?!?!\" She screeches
He winces
\"I am in love with you.
I would follow you around the world.
I wanna be with you forever.
I wanna have your children.
And you have nothing to say?!?!?
How could you be so heartless??
So unfeeling??
I have always been there for you.
I\'ve sat on the phone with you when you didn\'t want to sleep.
I\'ve kept all of your secrets.
Do you know how f**kin\' hard that is?
Do you?!?!?\"
He looks at the ground, not knowing what to say. (she continues)
\"Well i guess you don\'t.
So I\'ll tell you....
I have been depressed since the day you came to my house.
You know what day I am talking about.
I have only thought about you...
The phone rings and I jump.
Hoping and praying it\'s you on the other end.
I sit around not wanting to do a thing because you consume
My every thought
My every breath...
My everything has become you.
When you ask for me to cook for you, I do.
When you ask me to call people, I do.
When you ask to bring a friend over to chill, I say yes.
Yet when I wanna talk or hang out, you are too busy.
Or you say yes and it never happens.
Since I believe in you,
I sit and wait.
I go and clean or watch tv to keep my mind from wandering back to you.
Then I call and act like it\'s no big deal...\"
\"Some things just come up...\"
He says interrupting her.
She cuts him off..
\"No! This time I\'m gonna talk\"
\"Ok.. sorry\" he says apologizing.
\"Oh and if things do come up you could call.
I may not be your girlfriend but i still deserve that bit of curtisy.
Anyways, it is a big deal.
I have always loved you.
Yet you push me aside like I don\'t matter.
You keep me locked away and
Bring me out when you wanna play.
One day I am not gonna be there.
I wanna be there for you,
You know I do.
But I can\'t keep waiting for you
To do a complete 180
And be totally renewed.
I have plans too.
I can\'t keep trying to rearrange my life to fit into yours.
It doesn\'t work that way.\"
She looks at him.
\"Look me in the eye and tell me you don\'t care.\"
He looks her in the eyes....
And says nothing.
\"Exactly. Your eyes say you care
But you can\'t say the words.
I have to hear it from you first.
And see it for that matter.
Everyone said you didn\'t deserve me
That I was better than you
And the sad thing is, I know I am.
But I always believed that
Maybe.. just maybe
Just once...
My stubborness would be a good thing.
That I would show everyone
that there is good in you.
And you were so close...
So close and then you ran.
Ran back to your old ways.
While trying to balance out the new.
That was my mistake...
Now I am trying to pick up
The pieces of my heart.
I would never wish what I\'ve been though on you.
You\'ve been through alot already.
I should know, I was there....\"
She stops for she is crying now.
She takes him by the hand and looks him in the eye,
Wiping his tears away.
\"I will always love you.
I will always be behind you.
Don\'t ever forget the good times.\"
She sniffles and wipes away her own tears.
\" I am here for you but I am no longer the girl who sits and waits by the phone...\"
She hugs and kisses him goodbye.
She turns and walks away.
He sits and watches - tears now streaming down his face.
\"I\'ve always loved you.
I just didn\'t know how to say it.\"
It\'s too late... she\'s gone.
