I Don't Love You.
Well when you go don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
"Gerard, it's over." her voice echoed through my head, like it did all night.
Crying has gotten me nowhere, but it's been 7 1/2 years.She's moved on & I think that I should too, but it's hard when you've loved someone for a long time, & you finally have to let them go; maybe it's for the best. I stillcan't forget about all the good & bad times we shared together, I kept the pictures we took, & I look back at our high school life wishing that she still loved me.
Her name was Harmony, & she was mine forever, or so she said. I shouldv'e known she was a heart braker, but it wasn't necisarally all her fault, it was mostly mine, or at least that's what she told me. I would do anything to take her back, or even just tohold her in my arms one last time, and the way we danced together at our first Homecoming dance, to our very last. It was a few nights before Prom but she totally blew me off for another guy. Sometimes, I wish it never happened, but there are those moments I wished they happened again.
She went on being a single all Junior & Senior year, the same with colledge, I didn't stalk her, I was far apart from her as possible. Now it's 2 years after college, & she works here now, at the local strip club, I'm a bartender, but she's a dancer. She doesn't recognize me, and I hope she never does. I served drinks to her a few times, but I've never started a conversation with her, not even ask her for a refill. I haven't talked to her, and I never will... hopefully.
Today is Friday, and there will be a lot of costomers, so I have to look a bit decent. Wear eyeliner, and a nice tie, comb my hair back in a 60's style. It's 9 o'clock, & the doors open at 8, so I have an hour to help clean up the floors or something before everyone's here. I don't expect a lot of people, but about 30 - 45.
50 minutes
40 minutes
30 minutes
20 minutes
10 minutes
I've gotta stop looking at the clock so much, it's not like I can magically make time speed up.
"Hey Way, you got the left side of the bar tonite, try not to fuck things up." said Stink. We call her Stink because she always smells really good whenever your around her.
"Okay, I'll try. If I see a cute guy, I'm hitting on him." I joked. I don't hit on girls, mainly because I still like Harmony, and second, I pretend I'm a little gay to make things seem legit.
"Tonite's going to me Missouri, the performers are staying after we close, so we have to serve them drinks." she grabbed a cup & whiped it roughly with a angry look on her face, but finally the bottle cracked.
"Their paying for it right?" I asked. I walked over to the broom & dustpan I kept by the freezer.
"Yeah, but it pisses me off. I was supposed to be at a date with my boyfriend, & out of the blue, the skinny redhead decides 'Let's stay after hours & drink up!' it pisses me off. That skanky ass whore ruined everything-" the glass broke & fell on the floor just as I predicted. I handed her the broom & we cleaned it up.
"I was going home to see Mikey & the family."
The doors opened & people piled in like crazy. It was only a matter of time before I seen her.
