Music: “The Proposal” by AK & Mapps
It’s been quite some time
And things have been awkward as hell
I know this might make them worse, but
You have clothes that I need back
Let’s skip the idle, pointless banter
I care how you’ve been, but
It hurts to know you’re doing fine
I just came to collect my things
I know we’re here together
And this is already uncomfortable enough
Don’t ask about my family
Stop turning things against me
You always make things my fault!
Well if you didn’t want confrontation
You shouldn’t have cheated
Of course I would “bring that up”
You don’t think that it hurts me, too?
You don’t get to be the victim
(Sighs, raises hands to indicate desire for neutrality and peace)
I didn’t come here to fight
I just want to get my stuff and move on with my life
The dog we got together is doing great
He’s full grown now, loving life
He can be such a dork sometimes…
(Pauses, stopping the nostalgic memories from taking root)
Anyway… (Collects belongings)
