Scene 1 : Curtain Close

As I stood there, spotlight on me.
Silence in the audience.

'' All this while I never told you how I felt. I kept it a secret for so long. But now I can no longer hold it in. I know that I don't have the right to do this as you already have another. But just for tonight, let me speak. Just listen. I promise you this will be the last time. I'm mad at you because you meant the world to me, and I always had you to count on. I always had you to talk to. But now, I don't have anyone. And even if I try talking to others, they wouldn't understand. They don't know me like you do. But I never hated you. In fact, everyday I love you more. Do you believe me? I know, it doesn't matter now. Everything is gone, you're gone. And what you ask from me now, I can't do it. I can't just be a friend to you. It hurts too much. This needs to stop, I can't hurt myself anymore. But I want you to be happy. Please forget me, everything. Maybe its better for the both of us to be strangers, for now. So I've decided, I'm letting you go.

But who am I kidding right. You know I'll never truly let you go. I promised you long ago that I'll love you always and forever. Just remember that whenever you feel like coming back, I'll be here waiting. Even if it takes years. I promise. So our story has finally come to an end. Till we meet again. Goodbye. ''

I fell on my knees as the last word was spoken.
Emotions took over me, I lost control.
Tears poured down endlessly.
Applause was heard. And I looked up.
I got the standing ovation.
The show was a success, but why do I feel broken?
At that very moment I knew.
No, I understood. Everything i gained means nothing without you.
And so the curtain finally closes.

Backstage I was congratulated by many.
And was told that it was my best performance.
To them I was just acting, to me it was real.
Never did I have to do a play that was so similar to my life.
And truthfully, it was the hardest act I had to pull off.

Dedicated to, F.
