Divorce

Her:

-My hairs' gotten longer.My heart beats stronger everyday.The weights' come off.I often thought of what we lost along the way. That's all that has been new, I thought for sure this would all be about you. Yeah I'm doing well, do my eyes prove me wrong, or can you tell? -Are you just visiting? Are you just simply passing by? I was just wondering, Do you have a place to stay the night?  Him:Your hair is longer, your voice is stronger than I knew it to be. It's funny to see you well, then you stop and ask about me. What is there to say? I fumble with words that sounded untrue then you ask me, and I forgot all that I knew.  -Are you just visiting? Are you just simply passing by? I was just wondering, Do you have a place to stay the night? It seems so trivial now, can I see you again...next time I'm in town I'll call upon an old friend. Her:I stopped in to see my mom, I came by this coffee shop but it felt wrong. I didn't notice you. Have you forgotten what we lost? Him: (Is there another man? Tell me how much time that I've cost?) Her:-I'll stop this conversation right here in its tracks. It's been nice and all, I hoped to make this moment last. Don't give me reasons, I don't mind if you depart. It was nice seeing you, but this time when you say goodbye...tell my heart. Him:-Tell my heart.
