We could've been And we try to pretend Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what We could've been Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end You dream about, I think about what
We could've been We could've been We could've...
Damn

"Liz we just got home, I don't need this right now" I said as I close the door after her
We've been at my house for less than 5 minutes and she's still nagging and complaining like she was in the car and at the farmers market.
I offered to drop her home since I had to get ready for Efi's performance at the PeaceMaker tonight but Liz has been overly possessive recently and invited herself.
"I don't want you to see her anymore. She's distracting you from focusing on our relationship" I roll my eyes and make my way up to my bedroom
Liz was hot on my heels
"Can you not see that she's trying to end us? End what we have?!"
"What do we have Liz?! What do we have that's worthy of being taken away?!" I raised my voice
"We have love Darren!" I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head
The delusion
"Liz, we're two lonely people who want to be loved. I do love you but-" I sigh trying to put my words together
"This relationship doesn't have pure love, this is pity love. The love you can't help but give to another because you're in the same circumstance as them" she grabbed my hand
"Darren I love you, I really do." her lips say but her eyes say differently
"Liz you love what I have to offer and how you can benefit from me, but you don't really love me" she roughly let go of my hands
Her true emotions showing
"Why do you act as if you're the only who has something to offer. I offer you my body, is that not enough for you to love me?!" she screamed and I rubbed my temple
"Liz I'm not like the other men that you've dated, I don't want you for your body. I wanted you to support me mentally and emotionally. I wanted you to help me grieve the right way, but instead I lost more control than I had before"
