“You say you love me,
So prove it to me.”
“Your need for proof
Will be your undoing.
Isn’t faith enough?”
“Give me proof,
I’ll give you faith.”
“That’s not the way it works.”
“Then what is it you expect me to do?
Believe in myself, give myself to you?”
“Spending with me some time
Doesn’t make you mine.”
“That’s what you want, isn’t it?
Last I asked for time, you had a fit.”
“I’m different now, it’s true,
Have I not yet proven that to you?”
“You’ve handled a fling,
Not the real thing,
And that proves nothing.”
“It proves my feeling.”
“Feeling that what?
Together you ’n’ I could be hot?”
“It proves I care,
And that I, too, can be fair.”
“I wouldn’t give if you got caught in a snare.”
“You say that now,
Did you ever ask yourself how?
How you’d bring yourself to hate?”
“That’s not it, you’re too late.
I don’t trust you.”
“This isn’t about trust.
It’s about lust.”
“This was all so cut ’n’ clear,
Where does lust fit in here?”
“You can’t suppress yours,
You’re afraid you’ll hurt me more.”
“This isn’t about me
And my ‘unscrupulous infidelity’
I thought we were beyond.”
“I dealt with your affair
But the problem is not gone
Don’t deny it, I know you care.”
“You think I’m still dealing with this?
Who keeps bringing up the BS?”
“Why waste your energy trying
To keep on denying
That you’ve also been crying
Yourself to sleep, knowing you’re dying?”
“Dying of suffocation
With no location
To be alone without you there.”
“Wrong once more
— I know you’re sore.
But this conflict must end.”
“Just one way to mend
This conflict, someone’s gotta bend
It’s not gonna be me
Not for an eternity.”
“That’s why I’ll go further.
Why I’ll be the one to surrender.”
“Meaning what?
You’ll forget me and move on?”
“I’ll never forget you, but
I will stop wooing you at dawn
Or anytime for that matter.
I will still think of your ‘oomph’
When I hear the pitter-patter
Of rain against the roof.”
“Well, goodbye, good fortune.”
“Farewell, I wish I’ll see you soon.”
“Sure, I know you’ve got a good future in store.”
“(With you) It could have been so much more.”
“Well, maybe we’ll talk.”
“Doubt it. If we do it’ll be a shock.”
“I guess this is the ending.”
“It’s just the beginning.”
“If I never do see you again,
I’d like you to know I care.”
“I’m sure our paths will cross, I don’t know when.
Rest assured, when we do, we’ll have much to share.
Though I can never completely let go,
I thought you ought to know
That I hope you fair well on your loveless journey
For your path will be one of the dark
When you realize that you truly need me
Let’s hope it won’t be too late to start.”
