| �It�s not you, it�s Nick. He loses one girl, misses her, dates another. She was good for him and he fucked that one up.� �What happened?� �He still sleeping around Alex. I don�t understand him.� �I don�t think anyone will. He�s just that way.� I sighed and grabbed my purse. I gave Alex a quick kiss. �I�ll be back baby, I�m gonna talk to him.� �Be careful.� I waved bye and drove off. �Nick, you have to stop this man.� �I don�t want to stop. There is no one I want to be with. Sides, I lead such a busy life.� �You don�t lead shit Nick.� I plopped down on the couch and sighed. �Nick, you loved her, what happened?� �She wasn�t you.� �What does that mean?� He stopped pacing and knelled down in front of me. �It means what I said. In all my life Theresa, there is only one girl I loved. Loved beyond anything, that was you.� �Nick, if you loved me that much, you wouldn�t have cheated.� �I know that now. Please, just, let AJ go, give us one more shot.� Before I realized what happened, his lips were on mine, his hands on my legs. I couldn�t believe it. My mind was screaming at me to stop, that this was wrong, yet I didn�t have the will power to stop. His lips moved, now kissing my cheek, my neck and I closed my eyes. �No, stop it, not now,� my mind screamed at me. I opened my eyes, glancing at the ring on my left hand. I pushed Nick away and got up. �Nick, I can not believe you.� �What?� �I�m you�re best friends girl now. I�m engaged to him, I love him. You can not except me to drop him just to come back to you.� �Yes, I do. Come on baby, we still love each other.� �No, Nick, we don�t. You might love me, but I do not love you. Not anymore. I�m sorry.� I shook my head, leaving his house and walked out to my car. Taking a deep breath, I drove away. Two weeks later, and he still wouldn�t let up. He actually thought I would give in, would fall for him, would be like him, cheating whenever I could. I knew I had to get through to him. I listened to a song on the radio, knowing it would be perfect for me. I sat down at my desk, writing a letter to Nick. Dear Nick, You want to know what happened? You never showed the love. Why didn�t you? You could have had me forever, I would have stayed by your side. We were perfect, and you know what, it�s your fault. Maybe mine for being stupid, but oh well. We can not change the past. And Lord knows, I don�t want to Nick. I love Alexander. Through thick and thin he has been there. What�s so funny, I burned him for you, you know that? Before you asked me, he asked me. Said he liked me and I said let me think about it. I was waiting for you. Now look, I�m with him. �shakes head- I found this song Nick, hoping it might help you. Like it, don�t like, I don�t care, not up to me, just thought it might help you some. He sends her roses and lines he composes/ Things a lady loves/ Well he's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder/ If life gets too rough/ Oh now that she's left I keep kicking myself/ Whenever I start thinking back/ He says he needs her, tells her he loves her/ Why didn't I think of that? When she gets down well he's always around her/ He makes her smile again/ He mends her heartaches, remembers her birthday/ And tries to be a friend/ Now that she's gone I know what I did wrong/ It's all so simple in fact/ Well he says he wants her, can't live without her/ Why didn't I think of that? {Chorus} Ooh I've been watching every move that he makes/ Ooh I've been thinking/ It could have been different somehow/ If I'd known what I know now He sings her love songs and tells her his love's strong,/ Things she needs to know/ He tries to please her, he calls for no reason/ Just to say hello/ He says he loves her and he'll never leave her and I never will get her back/ I did my best, thought of everything else/ Why didn't I think of that? {Chorus} Ooh I've been watching every move that he makes/ Ooh I've been thinking/ Oh it could have been different somehow/ If I'd known what I know now He sends her roses and lines he composes/ Things a lady loves/ Well he's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder/ If life gets too rough/ Oh now that she's left I keep kicking myself/ Whenever I start thinking back/ He says he needs her, tells her he loves her/ Why didn't I think of that? He says he loves her and he'll never leave her/ Why didn't I think of that? Nick, we�re friends, and I do value our friendship, let�s not throw that away. But, if that stuff happens again, I won�t be there Nick. We can�t go back, we can�t look back. I�m happy with AJ. Be his pal, be happy for us. Much Love Always Your friend, Resa McLean I read the letter, knowing the song. I sighed, knowing I could have blown the friendship. She was a great friend, and I�d rather have that than not have her at all. And she was happy, and as a friend, I should be happy. Yet, deep inside, I thought I still had a chance. My love for her would never fade, I know that. And as I stood behind AJ, one of his groom�s men, and watched her walk down the aisle, one thought kept going through my mind. And as she stood next to him, pretty and beaming, the same thought was there. And as I heard her speak the words that would forever keep her way, I questioned myself. �Why didn�t I think of that?� ~*~ �Why Didn�t I Think Of That� By Doug Stone |
