All You Had to Do Was Show Me Love
"Do you love me?" "What do you mean, Jean? Of course, I love you! What makes you think I don't love you?" "You stopped saying that you love me, Tom! Are you cheating on me?" "What makes you think I'm cheating on you? Just because I come home late from work doesn't mean I'm cheating on you." "Of course I would think that you are cheating on me. You look at me like I'm a stranger now! As soon as you come in, you go straight to the bedroom." "I'm tired from working all day and being an accountant is stressful." "You don't even give me goodnight and good morning kisses anymore. You can hardly be in the same room as me anymore. I feel like you don't care about me and that we lost our spark. Why can't..." "Jean! The reason why I can't be in the same room as you is because we always fight We are constantly fighting about something. Either it's the way I handle our finances or the chores. We are fighting right now!" "I wish we could go back in time to senior year of high school and watch the lights of the city. I hate that time has changed us." "I do too. Things were simpler back then. Transitioning from 18 to 28 is never an easy road." "I think we need a divorce." "Jean, we don't need a divorce. We can work this out and see a marriage counselor. We can't just give up on three years worth of marriage." "Nothing can save us. All you had to do was show me love. Goodbye, T
