* Play "Goodbye to You"****
Jane sits at her computer, unable to find the words. She takes a deep breath and lets her heart lead her fingers across the keys.
Dear David,
I know I promised you a long time ago that I would never do this, that I wouldn't break-up with you. It's just that i feel as though I am suffocating. Every moment for the past year and a half has been filled with you. We had class together, we sang together, we worked together... I have no clue who I am without you. I did catch a glimpse of who I am with you these days and I don't know her either.
I'll never forget our talks and our adventures. You are the one I went to my first Prom with, and my last. You were the one beside me onstage. The one who held me in your arms when I was at odds with my parents. The one who promised to marry me one day.
But you also have isolated me because you are a loner. I'm not! I love being with people. I also like going to church.(Even though things we have done aren't that churchy.) The fact that you resent everything I do that does not involve you yet refuse to evolve as a person and try new things is maddening.
Do you remember the day in the auditorium during practice when a couple of guys were making comments about me? They weren't disrespectful just complimentary. You pulled me aside and accused me of seeking attention. I blew you off and you proceeded to pull me into a hallway, where you lashed out at me for "embarrassing you". I let it go. I just wanted you to be happy, I apologized. You know what David, I'm still not sure what for. Maybe for not being invisible, or maybe it was the fact that deep down I knew that I was alive inside and you weren't.
In spite of everything, I love you. I always will. I just can't be with you anymore. I can't be sad anymore. We gave each other everything, and for that reason I almost feel as though we should stick it out. I never wanted to be with more than one person. I guess I screwed that one up.
You will always be a part of me and have a part of my heart. Every song I sing, in my heart, it will be only one half of the duet. I swear two voices were never meant to sing together more perfectly than ours. Maybe one day fate will bring us back to the beginning. I hope you don't hate me.
Love ,
Jane
