fiogf49gjkf0d THE END OF THE WORLD
(SYLVIA/ARTHUR)
HI. IS EMMA THERE?
OH, REALLY. OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
DID SHE LEAVE A FORWARDING ADDRESS OR ANYTHING?
OH,.
NO, JUST AN OLD FRIEND.
THANKS ANYWAY.
OH, AHH... IF SHE HAPPENS TO CALL WOULD YOU... NEVER MIND.
THANKS AGAIN. BYE.
THERE WAS A HUMMINGBIRD JUST OUTSIDE THE GLASS THAT SEPARATED US FROM THE RAIN. HE LOOKED IN FOR JUST A MOMENT, AND THEN FLEW AWAY.
I COULDN'T HELP THINKING HOW SIMPLE HIS LIFE MUST BE.
WE SAT QUIETLY IN THE WARM SWIRLING BUBBLES.
SHE SMILED AND SOFTLY KISSED THE ROSE I'D GIVEN HER.
I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE LOVED HER MORE THAN AT THAT VERY MOMENT.
THERE WAS THIS LITTLE BEAD OF WATER MAKING ITS WAY DOWN HER LONG,
SILKY, WET HAIR, AND I SAID TO MYSELF, "IF I CAN COUNT TO TEN BEFORE IT DROPS, SHE'LL LOVE ME FOREVER".
I BARELY GOT TO SEVEN BEFORE IT FELL LIKE A ROCK AND RAN SLOWLY DOWN OVER HER BARE SHOULDERS AND DISAPPEARED INTO THE BUBBLES AGAIN.
TWO OUT OF THREE...
DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD?
CAUSE YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE...
THAT DAY IN THE RAIN SEEMED LIKE A MILLION MEMORIES AGO.
THE CAFE WAS GETTING NOISIER. MY COFFEE WAS GETTING COLD.
I MUST HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT HER FOR A LONG TIME,
BEFORE I REALIZED SHE WAS LOOKING BACK.
FINALLY, SHE BEGAN TO EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS OVER.
(“I TRUSTED YOU.... ”)
I WAS WATCHING HER TALK, BUT I COULDN'T HEAR THE WORDS.
I WAS DYING INSIDE, AND SHE NEVER LOOKED MORE BEAUTIFUL.
EVEN AFTER SHE WAS GONE, I COULD STILL SMELL HER PERFUME.
I ALWAYS WOULD.
WHY DOES THE SUN GO ON SHINING?
WHY DOES THE SEA RUSH TO SHORE?
DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD?
CUZ, YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE.
I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND I WONDER,
WHY EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS IT WAS.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, NO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND,
HOW LIFE GOES ON THE WAY IT DOES...
I GOT UP TO LEAVE AND STEPPED OUT INTO THE RAIN.
I STUCK MY HAND DOWN INTO MY COAT POCKET AND PULLED OUT THE ROSE I HAD MEANT TO GIVE HER.
THE PETALS WERE ALL WILTED NOW.
AND ONE BY ONE THEY SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS AND FELL TO THE GROUND.
SO, I COUNTED THEM OUT ONE MORE TIME. STILL TRYING TO BEAT THE ODDS.
SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME NOT...
TWO OUT OF THREE.
WHY DOES MY HEART GO ON BEATING?
WHY DO THESE EYES OF MINE CRY?
DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD?
DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD?
IT ENDED WHEN YOU SAID GOOD-BYE.
HI. IT'S ME AGAIN. YEAH, I KNOW. IT'S FREEZING.
SAY, CAN I LEAVE A NUMBER WITH YOU, JUST IN CASE SHE CALLS.
YEAH, I'LL HOLD.
THANKS. THANKS A LOT.
SURE...
