We cleaned up and packed, quickly and quietly, yet with obvious reluctance. We called a cab to take us to O'Hare and hardly spoke on the ride there. I sat in his lap, my ear pressed against his chest. I listened to his heartbeat as he twined his fingers in my hair, cradling me in his arms. The city slipped by the window much too fast, and the airport terminals came into stark view. We checked in, got our boarding passes. I had to laugh when he set off the alarms a couple of times through security. Some people recognized him and I made myself scarce as he signed a few autographs. Catching his eye, I gestured where I would be waiting for him. He nodded and attended to his fans. I smiled. So many people love him now. He has finally earned the respect he always longed for and has let go of his anger. Would all that have happened for him had we stayed together? I think my departure made him stronger, made him rely upon himself. I was in the way. He never would have told me that, I just knew.
I was frowning into my cup of Irish coffee when he slid in to the chair across from me. It was too early for the usual bar patrons, though one would be surprised at just how many were here, but for the most part, we were secluded. I had taken the liberty of ordering coffee for him and he sipped it, observing me quietly for a moment. Setting the mug down, he placed his hand under my chin, lifting my head so our eyes met. He smiled so sweetly I just wanted to cry.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Everything." I sighed. "Mostly how this is such a much better goodbye, but hurts so much more."
He just nodded. We sat quietly, gazing at one another. So much to say, if only we could find the words. I realized an all-too-appropriate song playing and glanced up at the speaker above us. Why? Why this song? I swallowed hard and looked back at David. He gave me a half smile, then leaned back in his chair, looking away. I went back to studying my coffee. It was too hard to look at one another while listening to the very things we couldn't say.
I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home
When it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay
And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know its your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
