YOU.

Hey You. (sad)

Character one in italics

Character two regular font

"Hey."

Such a simple word, but so complex when it comes to you. It's been months since the last hey I've gotten from you. It's been months since I've gotten anything from you.

It's also been months since I dumped you.

"Hey."

I didn't expect to get this far. After she dumped me the last time, I was sure that she'd never want to see me again. For why would anyone want to talk to a monster like me?

"How have you been?"

How have I been? Awful. My mind is chaotic, but my heart is numb. I feel so much, and yet I still feel nothing at all. I know that I made the right decision, but did I? It hurts just talking to you, but it hurts to not. Most of all I've been sorry. Sorry that I hurt you. Sorry I never talked to you again, but can you blame me? It doesn't matter anymore. Just stay away from me. I don't want you talking to a monster like me.

"Fine."

You don't sound fine. You sound like you're breaking. I wasn't good for much, but I did know when you were hurting. Baby, why are you hurting? Why won't you let me in?

"You don't sound fine. Are you okay?"

How can I be? How can I be after I look you into your pained eyes? Pained eyes that are pretending to be okay for me? How could I be okay when the pain of breaking your heart follows me through my everyday? I'm not okay!

"I'm okay."

"You're not okay! I can see it in your eyes that you aren't. Let me in. Let me into your heart! Let me hold you until you are okay. I just want to—"

"No!"

I don't mean to be cold, but it's the only way. I'm no good. He deserves more. He deserves better. He deserves what I can't give him.

"Why do you push me away? What did I do to you? Why won't you give me a chance? Please, let me love you..."

"I have to go."

Don't go...

I don't want to go...

But I must.
