The stony path of life (8/?)
I’m holding on your robe, got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you’re saying but I just can’t make a sound.
You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait,
You tell me that you’re sorry, didn’t think I’d turn around and say …
We’re at Joe’s now and she just told me how she met Kate. She really is happy! Shes glowing when she talks about her. I sip on my third tequila. She told me that she lived and worked in Toronto the last months. There were some cases which helped her finish her cartilage research. I just listened to her all the time and stared at her. I must look like some crazy stalker!
,,Ari, are you still there?’’ she grins.
,,What?’’ I snap out of my trance. ,,Oh, sorry … What did you say?’’
,,I asked you how you’ve been all this time. I was very surprised to see you so close with Mark. You never seemed to like him.’’ She says.
I smile. ,, Yeah, I didn’t really like him, but he’s been there for me after you were gone. To be exact Teddy, Mark and I have grown very close the last months.’’
,,That’s great! Good for you!’’ she replies. She looks like she missed Seattle a lot and I don’t know why but I think she sounds a bit jealous. She excuses herself to the bathroom and for a short moment I want to follow her but I don’t do it. It would end with me kissing her just like our first kiss. And it would hurt her, me and of course Kate!
That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late!
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late!
I’m drunk. Weve been chatting for two hours and I kept on drinking tequila. Now I feel like jumping her in front of everyone. I don’t listen anymore. I use all my strength to concentrate on not kissing her.
,,Arizona, are you ok?’’ she asks concerned. That’s all I need to break down again.
,,I’m so sorry, Calliope! I can’t do that! I love you and I want you back! Please, what can I do for you to take me back?’’ I cry
She looks shocked. ,,Ari, I’m sorry, but I already told you that I moved on. I’m happy with Kate and I won’t leave her!’’
,,No, please, I made the biggest mistake of my life leaving you! I realised this before you were gone, but when I wanted to talk to you I only found Yang and she told me you just left to the airport and I drove there and I watched the flight to LA leave thinking you’d be on that plane. Were you on that plane?’’ I ask.
,,No, I wasn’t.’’ she whispers and looks on the floor. ,,I should go now. I think it’s better …’’
I’d take anoter chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it’s nothing new.
I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue and you say
Sorry like the angel, heaven let me think it was you, but I’m afraid …
,,Please!’’ I beg sobbing. ,,I’d do anything for you!’’
But she just stands up and leaves.
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late!
