He wondered how many times he had
contemplated leaving. He would not disagree with her decision but what would leaving solve. He wondered if it was her suitcases closing
or his heart breaking. He had tried so hard to make it work but how do you work
on something that is seen as suicide.
Val took the last sip of his beer and walked to the kitchen.
Nidia stood over the bed… their bed.
After two years, something told her to pack and go. She was tired of crying.
She knew if she had categorized her shed tears they would be rivers. Thousands of rivers that she swam, due to different reasons and
situations, all because of him. He claimed to feel her pain. He claimed
he shed as many tears as she did. She couldn’t handle him drinking,. She just couldn’t deal with the worrying and she as
suppose to be his girlfriend not his savior.
Val debated on grabbing another beer.
His drinking has pushed her to the edge. She laughed when he suggested one more
chance. He knew she would turn him down. He never hit her but his words left
scars deeper then he would ever know. He wished he could help her find the good
times. They existed it was just that the yesterdays were not for sale. They
were stuck in the painful present. Tomorrow was not his to promise to her.
So if she wasn’t his savior, then why
was it hard to leave? She knew he had flaws. He made up for missing Valentine’s day. He was smashed and passed out before she
finished getting ready. He wanted to be her everything. But he didn’t realize
how much he needed her as well. She was his wine that he couldn’t get enough
of. But that was before the fortified stuff took over. Did he deserve one more
chance?
Val shook his head. They were hardly
ever apart but he was drunk most of the time. He never realized she was happy
or down. He was at the bar drunk on her birthday. He was passed out in bed when
she blew the candles out. He could stop drinking. He just needed to realize
what he would lose. Vince did not think too kindly of alcoholics. He just
wanted Nidia to stay and he would attempt to get sober.
Val closed the refrigerator. He
noticed Nidia by the door. She glanced
his way. Val noticed how much older she looked. But there was something else he
noticed. She had a look of compassion. He wanted her to say something. Nidia
took a breath as she moved closer to him. She took him into her arms. It was
not an easy thing to say when she could show what love could do
I guess this time you're really
leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide
You say you've cried a thousand
rivers
And now you're swimming for the
shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give
me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the
air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good
times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get
thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the
air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
Solo
And I wasn't there when you were
happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday,
baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those
candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the
air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
