A Matter of Time

"What are you saying? What do you mean?!!"

"I think you know. Please don't make this harder."

"For you or for me???!! Why? Why? At the very least, you owe me that."

"It just happened."

"What?? Huh! What do you mean, "it just happened"? Nothing ever does "just happened"?

"don't mock me."

"Don't MOCK you? Don't mock you? Oh no. You don't get away with that. If anyone is mocking, it's you mocking me. You just don't get to come here and just tell me that, out of the blue, and expect me to sit back and accept your "just happened" explanation. For goodness sakes, you start talking mister! You owe me that."

"What do you want me to say? What good will it do? Whatever I say will not change anything. It's over, we're over. Things - they've been over for a while now.. you know it. We just never dealt with things. I just think we should, now. That's all."

"So that's it? That's all?"

"What more do you want me to say? Look, this is no walk in the park for me either, you know."

"Oh my heart so does go out for you!!"

"That's it. I'm off. I don't have to take any more of this. This is also why I'm going, why I decided to leave."

"Don't you lie. Don't you dare blame me for this."

"Enough, okay? I've had enough. I'm through."

Why now, why again?

"What is it? What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me again?"

"No. I mean, yes. I am happy to see you, but I wish I hadn't. Not like this..."

"Hush..Don't say that.."

"Look, we were only supposed to meet as friends..."

"BabyI know. But can you deny our feelings, your feelings? We just couldn't help ourselves..it's been too long.It's only because we've just missed each other too much."

"It still doesn't make it right."

"I know. I know. But .. ok.. lets just start afresh, ok? How have you been, really?"

"This is not a game, that you can just say, lets start afresh.."

"I know. I just don't know what else to say. I mean. If I were to say don't make a big thing out of it, it'll make it seem as if it didn't mean anything, but it does.. but at the same time, I don't want us to start arguing as soon as we've met. I've missed you so much, I want to enjoy this time with you, to look at you, your smile.. God knows how I've missed your smile."

"And then what?"

"I don't know. I wish I can say more, promise more."

"Please. No more promises. Don't you think we've had enough of broken ones?"
