i had to leave, just in time you had to go

• D: you know sometimes i still think of ways to win you back, bcs i'd always kinda hoped that maybe, we'd, you know.. get back together and that..... but you know, when i heard that you're with.. you know.....
• (pause)
• D: i know - i know - i know it's the height of hypocrisy and i know-- doin this isn't gonna change anything.. or--or make anything better, but um..
• (sigh)
• D: i'd just-- i'd settle for your respect.
• (tempo decreased, lower volume)
• D: you know, i'd settle for you smiling... when you thought about the time that we had together and not thinkin' it was a waste of time..
• (pause)
• D: you know, i mean, i know i didn't do you any favours back then, ok? i did a stupid, stupid, stupid thing.
• (punchline)
• D: but it was only because i thought that spoiling your day was better than ruining your life.... does that make any sense?
• (closure)
• D: i'm such an idiot.
