Am I Too Late?

Someone Like You

Max P.O.V.

Stepping onto the bus I take a window seat and glance towards the diner, hoping just maybe you chased after me. I wipe the tears from my eyes and see you nowhere in sight. I never should have came to the diner today. What was I thinking? It hurts so much to see you with her and know you are over me. Sighing softly I lean my head against the window putting my earbuds in. I get lost listening to Adele - Someone Like You. The lyrics bring out so much emotion in me as I can relate to what she is singing.

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

You may not be married but how true are the words she is singing. You have found a girl and seem so happy now. Maybe she is better for you than I ever was.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

You couldn't even come over and say hi when you saw me, that isn't the Chloe I remember. You would always come running with a smile on your face when you saw me in public. Although this time I suppose circumstances are different than what they was before.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Oh Adele how your words speak to me. It's true though, for me it isn't over. I was hopeful in thinking that by me showing up again you would still be waiting and want us back. Though who am I kidding, you are to amazing of a person to still be waiting around for someone like me.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

I do hope that you are happy Chloe, if anyone deserves happiness it is you. I'm just so afraid that all the good times that we had you will forget them and only remember the pain I've caused. I never meant to hurt you when I left. I suppose karma has come around, as I'm the one hurting instead now. How I wish we would have lasted.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I think back to all the memories we have together. You were my best friend and the only good thing about this town. So many places here holds memories I'll always hold dear to me. The old tree fort that we use to play for hours, to the playground swing where we shared our first kiss. I miss those days, everything was so simple, carefree, and you were still mine.

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Bittersweet it is. I always dreamed of being back here again with you. Though never did I imagine I would be back here watching you love another. I will always regret leaving this shit town and losing the one person who matters most.

I open my eyes as the song comes to an end, wiping away the tears that slipped out. Staring at the scenery of this ole town I can't help but think, I'll never find someone like you. You are the only one my heart wants.
