Why don't you speak to me? I'm growing tired of you. Everything feels cold, colder than my room. It's -18 degrees outside.
Why don't you speak to me? It's been four months since I met you and her. You came over a few weeks later. You got to know me. You came to dinner and everything. You said that you loved me and I felt so shell shocked that I didn't reply back.
So why don't you speak to me? I think about you every time they put me to sleep. I think about us.
Why don't you speak to me? I tried calling you. She cut me off.
Why don't you speak to me? I understand that you and her don't love each other anymore. I love your company, but still.
Why don't you speak to me? I'm not a poisonous spider.
Still, why don't you speak to me?
Damn it. Stop chasing him. I know for myself that it won't work out. If you want more, go find someone else. He's no longer with you but I don't want to lose my chance with him. I won't crack under pressure. I'll only become stronger and get over it.
One day, you'll finally see me for who I am, and it will be too late.
