A Video Message to an Old Love
Picking up the piece of paper and the remote she pressed the record button.
“Yah, it’s me. I just wanted to drop you a video note. Even though I could have written this out I felt it better that I let you see me instead. Anyway, I was clearing out some stuff and came across this piece of paper that I had thought was lost. But low and behold here it is right here in my hand. You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about. Well, lets see…”
She unfolds the piece of paper.
“The hand writing is yours. I’m certain about that. And the paper you used was that red paper you seemed so fawned of. No, it’s not a love anything you wrote on this particular piece of paper. In fact, it was the words that were opposite of how I had thought you had felt about me. But I guess with every little turn in the road you live and learn from what doesn’t kill you. Right?”
“Well, anyway to the point of this little recording.” She settled in to speak her mind. “I remember when I had found this note, just peeking out from under the couch, where I’m guessing you had been composing it. I come home, happy from the day’s events, only to be met with a sight that tore all that goodness into shreds. And now that I’ve had lots of time to think about it, all I find myself wondering is if things had been different, if maybe I had done things on my end differently…but now I know that just wouldn’t have made a damn difference.”
“I guess when something isn’t meant to be it will not happen. And you sure proved that one to be true. Here’s what you wrote on that piece of red paper…‘I’ll always love you. I want you to know that. But for us to remain as we are… I think it’s better we go different ways from here on in. I’ve enjoyed the time we’ve had together. The good and the bad. But for us to remain as lovers is just not working for me. I really want us to remain friends so please don’t -’”
“Sorry. That’s it. That’s all of the letter I have left. I guess the mice enjoyed turning it into bedding for their nests. But that’s okay because I don’t care. What we had was obviously just one sided, mine, so it makes no difference.”
“I guess you can imagine what went through my head when I read that little note. And yah, I hated you more then anything I’ve ever hated in my life. And that speaks volumes. But now I could care less about you. I’ve found what I had been in search of all that time and I can say, without hesitation, that I am completely happy now. But I do have to give you credit for what you did because if it weren’t for you sleeping with Donna behind my back I wouldn’t have ever of found my happiness.”
“And yah, I had spent many a sleepless nights pondering over so many things after I had left the apartment. But I can say only one thing, at least for me, it turned out all for the better in the end. I do wonder if you and Donna are together and if so then I guess you were made for each other. If not, well then I guess even that wasn’t meant to be. But anyway, no matter how many times I read those words it always comes right back to the same thing. I was alone yet once again. It never changed. And I thought it never would. So why even bother? I should have known it was going to be the same with you as it’s always been with all the rest of the people that have past through my life over the years. They’ve told me they’ll never hurt me. They’ve told me that they’ll never leave me…and yet in the end I am all alone after the dust settles.”
“You remember those sliding glass doors that led out to the balcony?”
“Well if it hadn’t been for the damn lock always getting stuck I can’t say that I wouldn’t have been tempted to take a swan dive off that balcony back then. But now I’m glade that lock was sticking because if it hadn’t I wouldn’t have what I have now. And I’m betting you want to know just what it is that I have that gives me so much happiness these days, right?”
“Well, here’s the reason.” She says, turning the recorder from herself onto what was a little child sleeping at the other end of the couch.
“It’s my baby boy thanks to your sperm.” She says turning the camera back to herself. She was looking at the kid then looked at the camera. She was truly happy and it showed.
“Would have been your child as well but you gave up that right, making it more then clear that you had meant what you’d said about having kids. So you maybe wonder why I’m even bothering to let you know. Well, to be honest, I just felt like rubbing it in your face. But it’s a double edged sword too. Me letting you know about him might give you ideas. But I assure you, we are doing just fine without you. So you getting any funny ideas won’t pan out so well for you.”
“Well, I guess that’s it. I have to go make dinner and be ready when baby wakes up. So I say to you… what could you have been possibly thinking? Was my love not enough for you? Was I not enough for you? Or maybe it was all to much.”
“Oh well, what was is no more, so…Goodbye.” She says with a smirk and salute to the camera.
And then the tape ended a moment later, becoming that snow stuff, signaling the recording had finished. He pushed the rewind button then the play button then paused the tape, looking at the image of the woman he had lost all because of a jealous ex-girlfriend playing her sick twisted mind games with his head. Even to this day his heart ached for the one on that screen to come back but from what it sounded like, that wasn’t going to happen.
Goodbye. She had never used that word for she had always said it meant to never see that person, not even after death, ever again. His chest felt tight at the thought of what that one word could truly mean, a thought he didn’t like thinking about. To truly and completely lose the one person, who he knew now without hesitation, meant the world to him. But as the tape showed she was truly happy and had completely moved on in her life, a new baby, what his seed helped to create, and now it was all lost to him. And all because of a sneaky conniving back stabbing jealous winch of an ex-girlfriend who had no intentions of ever staying in his life.
He shook his head knowing it was all over and there was no way of it ever returning. He asked himself why and the only answer he came up with was blind and deaf stupidity. He had known back then to listen to his gut, that the one woman who had truly loved him with everything she had, had been telling him the truth from the start. And yet he had pushed it all to the side just for a quickly with his crazy ex. A high selfish and greedy woman who had no love or respect for anyone except herself. And now he wondered if she even had those for herself. Well, in the end it was he who was alone and unhappy.
Or was he?
The End
