You don’t realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
So that’s it. Four years of my life and that’s it. He’s thrown me over for another brass ring.
I should have known this was coming. I should have felt it. Everyone else has left me, what made me think he was any different?
His words of love – oh, don’t start that, brotherly love – turned out to be lies. He said he’d never leave me.
I’ve never left him.
Why did he do this?
Please come on back to me
I’m lonely as can be
I need you
The senses are out of control – all over the place. I’m always on edge – feels like there’s danger all around. I don’t know why. I’m tormented by jaguars and leopards and wolves….
I need to call him and---
No. I can’t call him. I’m nothing to him anymore.
Said you had a thing or two to tell me
How was I to know you would upset me?
He asked me to come to see him at the university today. I can’t do it. I know what he’s going to tell me.
He’s going to tell me goodbye. I can’t stand to hear it.
I didn’t realize
As I looked in your eyes
You told me
His eyes showed nothing but excitement this morning. I know what that means.
He’s happy to be moving on.
How the hell could I have been so blind? How could I have thought that he cared for me for anything but my senses?
How could I have thought he could be my friend or my brother?
Oh yes you told me
You don’t want my lovin’ anymore
So this is it. The split.
He’s found another Sentinel. It’s plain as the nose on his face. And he wants to be with him, not me.
Fine.
That’s when it hurt me
And feeling like this
I just can’t go on anymore
I hear the crash of something as I throw his belongings in the boxes. Good. It sounds like my heart.
Listen at me! Stupid, sentimental…. It’s just another in a long line of betrayals.
Why did I think he’d be any different?
Please remember how I feel about you
I could never really live without you
And to think, I was starting to care for the bastard. Starting to think of him as a little brother.
So my senses go out of control. So what? I’ll just turn them off. I’ve done it before.
So come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you
Everything in me is telling me to call him. To tell him this has to be faced – that he can’t just shut me out.
But that’s just what he’s done.
Thrown me over for this mystery other Sentinel.
I need him, dammit! He’s my Guide, not this one’s! MINE!
Too bad he didn’t see it that way.
I need you
There. That’s the last box.
He wants out so bad…. He can go.
I don’t care anymore.
I need you
I just don’t care.
I need you.
