I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore

Lyrics by: Prince

 

I could tell from the moment U walked in the room

 

That it wasn't your dress U had on

 

That wasn't your perfume

 

And what happened 2 the ring that I gave U?

 

What am I 2 assume?

 

I love U, but I don't trust U anymore

 

U could tell from the moment U looked in my eyes

 

That I could see right through U

 

U must apologize

 

I've always given U the best in life

 

Even in the wrong, it was right

 

I know U trust me, but U don't love me anymore, no no

 

I remember meeting U here in the good ol' days

 

I would never pick the flower of my favorite protégé

 

Maybe if I would have

 

Then U would not treat me this way

 

U tricked me, but U will not anymore, no no

 

I love U, but I don't trust U anymore

 

I smiled at her as I stood up. The maître de pulled out her chair and we both sat down in unison. Man, she was so beautiful. She had her hair pulled back so you could see her bedroom eyes. I leaned over to kiss her, to take in her scent. “You look beautiful Bobbie.”

 

She smiled. “Thank you! The dress is new. Do you like it?”

 

All I could do was nod. Something else had caught my attention. Her smell. She didn’t smell like her normal floral body spray. I was having trouble placing it, but then it hit me. She smelled just like the cologne that my brother’s girlfriend bought him for Christmas. Why did my girl smell like Tyler? I watched as she lifted the menu so she could read the many entrées she wouldn’t allow herself to eat.

 

“JC,” she said softly, “what are you thinking about getting? The grilled chicken salad looks good to me.”

 

“Don’t know.” I mumbled. Something else was wrong. Something was missing. The normally picture perfect Bobbie was missing something. What was it? As her right hand reached to pat mine it clicked.

 

“Josh, are you alright?” She smiled innocently.

 

“Where’s your ring?” I asked bluntly. I saw the innocence slip out of her eyes. It was replaced with fear. Then it all clicked. The new dress, the missing ring, the men’s cologne. That bitch!

 

“Now, baby, let me explain. I…I…” she scooted closer, trying to hold my hands and keep me calm. I wouldn’t have it.

 

“Are you cheating on me?” Silence. I asked louder. “Are you fucking cheating on me?” The people around us looked to see what was going on, but I barely noticed.

 

“JC, I…”

 

“You are, aren’t you? I can’t believe you. Are you even sorry?” More silence. “Say you’re sorry!” Not a sound leaked from her mouth. I couldn’t believe it. I stood up and screamed at her. “I’ve given you everything. My life, my heart. Everything! I know I’m not perfect, but who is? Why would you do this to me?” She just hung her head. Her sad, pathetic head. “Don’t you love me?”

 

She shook her head in response. “I’m sorry JC.”

 

I couldn’t believe that was happening. I stormed out of the restaurant, never looking back.

 

I got in my Jeep and drove. I drove, but had no idea where I was going. When the car finally stopped, I got out and walked. I walked until there was nowhere else to walk. When my eyes finally took in my surroundings, I was where my subconscious had led me. I was at the very spot we met. That seemed like ages ago.

 

I remembered Justin giving me advice on how to get Bobbie. He was such a kid and had looked up to me since we met. Maybe that was why I ignored his advice. What could he know about women? But, what the hell do I know? Bobbie was cheating on me and Justin has a perfect relationship with Britney. Well, as close to perfect as you can get in this crazy pop world. At that moment I hated Justin. Justin, Britney, Bobbie. Everyone. Especially Bobbie. That damn whore has played her last game on me. It was over.

 

“I hate you Bobbie!” I screamed at the top of my lungs right before I began to cry. “I hate you…I hate you…I love you.” I cried harder. I loved her. I loved her with all that I was, but I couldn’t be with her ever again. I can’t trust people who can cheat so easily. I took a deep breath, then got back in my Jeep and drove home. Alone.

 

The End
