Hello, Old Friend
I
Hello, old friend. You sit with me once more, here in the darkness. Does my restlessness fill you with joy. Does my heartache bring you comfort. Why? Why must I endure this again?
Fool, you have done this to yourself.
I would not wish this pain on any man.
No, not any man, only you.
Hah, I thought I was doing the right thing. She deserved someone that was willing to take on all her troubles without hesitation, someone that wasn’t afraid to commit to the wrong person, someone who could love her unconditionally.
Sounds like you did the right thing.
Then why… why does it hurt me to see her happy with another man?
Because deep down you wish it was you.
Yeah… yeah, I do. I was trying to get there, I was trying to give her forever. I was trying to let it all go… for her. And now I am the one that spends my nights alone, thinking of the ways he now makes her smile the way I used to, thinking of the ways he now makes her laugh the way I used to, thinking of the ways he now makes her feel loved and wanted…
The way you never did.
Right… right. I always had one foot in and one foot out.
She deserved better than that.
I know.
