The world spins with chaos.

                 - STOP -

Nothing else matters in this hallway.

It's all a blur. Except you, me, and --

her.

She's gazing at you with those

deceiving brown eyes

Her plump lips cracked into a smile and her head

thrown back as if she understood the joke you told her.

But she wouldn't understand --

            she couldn't.

I'm the only one who understands you.

I know of your every little imperfection.

Well, to you they're imperfect.

To me?

You radiate the definition of perfect.

        Because you are.

                 - REWIND -

The film of all our memories plays through my head

from present to past.

        Wait, there!

                  - PAUSE -

A stilled picture of us.

Nothing else.

My hands are cupping your face.

I remember moving my lips against your neck

Planting sweet kisses on your cheeks, your forehead, your nose-- your lips.

I remember staring into your eyes

Oh those eyes,

     you enchanted me with those dark caring eyes...

Snap out of it!

                - SKIP FORWARD, STOP -

Back to reality.

Back to this desolate hallway where

instead of two souls, there's three:

Her, me, and --

you.

I walk up to you and stare into your eyes.

Those eyes hold the same emotion you used to comprise for me.

I'm afraid to continue.

      I know I'll lose you.

               Maybe I already have.

                     I give you one last kiss,

                               whisper a painful goodbye,

                                      and a choked I love you.
