I remember way back when. I remember these green trees and the wind blowing across my face. I remember looking up to the sky and how free I felt at that one moment in time. I mean those are the moments we live for right? And it only took an instant for everything to change....I had just bought this ring for this girl that I loved. This girl who had told me on numerous occasions how much she loved me and wanted to be with me. I arrived home that night and I asked her to marry me. That night my heart was shattered into a million pieces. How can someone tell you they love and then....and then make you feel like your worthless. She told me that.....that I wouldn't be able to provide for her, to give her the things she wanted in life. I told her I was giving her the most precious thing I had....My heart. She just laughed, she laughed like....like it was a joke. I didn't get it at first, I guess I'm kind of slow or something. I mean, I....I thought she was laughing because she was happy, you know like a filled with joy type of thing. I don't get it....I mean I thought that being in love meant that even if....I thought being in love meant more than material things....I guess I was wrong. What the heck do I know, right? I'm just a lousy, no good waiter hoping to get a break.
