Abigail Kane comes in from work, Still in her scrubs. She throws her keys on the counter. Its not surprising that her husband isn't home yet.

He used to hold her hand, he used to hold her door
But she don't know what that feels like anymore

She doesn't know why she checks her phone. There's really no point anymore. She knows he's never going to call if he's late or caught up at work.

Just last night he was sleeping and she kissed his face
He said I gotta work in the morning and he rolled away

She has tried to be patient, but she can't do this without him. It takes two to tango. Either they're both in it or they're both not.

He used to love her like crazy, you couldn't pull 'em apart
God, she felt so unbelievable in his arms

She remembers how clingy they used to be. She wonders often what happened?

But now she's catching herself looking down at her ring every now and then

She messes with her wedding ring. She has considered taking it off, but she just hasn't had the strength to do it.

She don't want him to leave, she just needs him to be that way again

She holds onto hope. Hope that maybe he will come back. The old him will come back.

So this morning she had coffee with a brand new friend

She doesn't really know why she said yes to have coffee with Thelonius Jaha. She just needed to be wanted by someone.

She still had a half of a cup left when he asked her, "Can I see you again?"

Its been so long since someone wanted her. So long since someone has chosen her.

That made her smile like she hadn't smiled in years
And in just a second that smile turned into tears

She knew this was wrong. This wasn't the man she loved.

He used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart
God, I felt so unbelievable in his arms

She remembers them going on so many dates. So many nights. Even if they just stayed home. How he held her.

But now she's catching herself looking down at her ring every now and then

She looks down at her wedding ring, tears falling down her face.

She don't want to him to leave, she just needs him to be that way again

This can't be the end. That's all she has to hold onto. Hope.

She left that little café, she headed straight to her car
She picked up her phone, he didn't say hi, he just said
"Hey, when you getting home?"

This is their first real conversation in months. And she honestly doesn't know how this conversation will end.

She said, "You used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart,
God, I felt so unbelievable in your arms,

She recalls all of their memories together. Her face is soaked with tears.

But now I'm catching myself looking down at my ring every now and then.

How is it even possible that she can cry this many tears? How can she be so happy, yet terribly sad at the same time?

I don't want you to leave, I just need you to be that way again.
