Dear Jeff [complete]

7. Lover, You Should've Come Over

"But maybe I'm just too young,

To keep good love from going wrong

Oh lover, you should've come over"

Dear Jeff,

I couldn't agree more with the words you said in your song: lover, you should've come over.

Oh Jeff, you should've come home.

I was too young, too dumb, to know how to love you... How to love at all... And now I guess it's too late for me to do anything at all. Without you here, I can only hope (this miserable hope that keeps killing me slowly) to see your face again somewhere far away from here. From this city... From this painful reality that hurts me so much.

I remember what my friends told me. They warned me I would end up breaking your heart and you would end up breaking mine. We were too young to know what love is. But what did they know about love? What did they know about us? Oh Jeff, we were too young but I never loved like this in my life.

Watching the rain outside, the way it falls like my lonely tears, I can only think about you. All that we lived will never come back (the kisses on my shoulder, dancing around the kitchen to some Bob Dylan song, your smile when you grabbed my hand on that taxi cab), but somehow it's never over for me... I will always love you.

And maybe I am fool; waiting for you when I know you will never come back. I just can't accept the fact that you are gone, Jeff.

Oh my lover, you should've come home...

"So I'll wait for you and I'll burn

Will I ever see your sweet return?

Or, will I ever learn?

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late."
