Mmm, mmm
Alright, yeah
Listen
"Sonny, please! Be reasonable!" I said as I watched her as she put on her final touches for her date.
"Chad, just leave." She said as she put on some of her lip gloss.
"Sonny he's an asshole!" I tell her, hoping to get the fact that Brad was a lying user and jerk.
"Why do you even care, Chad?!" She shouted back.
She stood up. She was wearing a short red dress and black stilettos. She looked beautiful. I shake my thoughts away so that I won't be distracted.
"Because, Sonny!" I shouted.
"Whatever, Chad." She said as she took her purse and started to head for the door.
I need to do something. I know that it was my fault that we broke up last week. But it was regretting every inch of it! I need her. And I need her badly. I can't stand seeing her off to go and see another guy on a date. I would have been happy for her that she was able to move on, but a player like Brad doesn't deserve Sonny.
Baby, can you put them bags
down
Just wait hold on for a minute
Gotta say a couple things
before you go
Even though I know that we're finished
"Sonny wait!" I said as she was turning the knob of her dressing room.
"What?" She said cautiously, turning around.
"I… I need to tell you something." I said looking down.
"Chad. Not now. I have a date." She choked up a bit on the last word. I looked up and saw a hint of sadness on her usually perky face.
I don't want you to leave
without knowin'
Just where I'm comin' from, babe
I just
wanna say I made a big mistake
And now I gotta face the fact that
I
"Please, Sonny. Just a few minutes." I begged.
"Fine." She said. She stood there waiting.
"I made a mistake Sonny." I began.
She scoffed at that.
"I… I'm sorry. I made a really big mistake." I blurted out
Shoulda been a better man I coulda done this, I coulda done that
The
kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done
right by you
But
I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm
sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah
"I should never have ignored you. I could've done something at least. I know it's too late but, Sonny, I just need you to know." I said.
Her face held a hint of shock and disbelief.
"But… Chad… You…" She stuttered. I could see tears starting to fill her eyes. Just the sight of it made me tear up too.
I can tell by the look on your
face
You ain't tryin' to hear what I'm sayin'
Maybe you
done heard all of this before
To her this ain't no game that I'm
playin'
She looked away and looked as if she was trying very hard not to join in this conversation.
"Sonny! I'm not acting right now. This is real. I need you! I miss you! And I know you've heard this again and again with every other relationship that you passed by but it's true!" I said. Some of my tears started to drip out of my eyes. I swiftly raise my hand and wiped them away.
I saw that shock was still in her expression but also a bit of concern and understanding.
This may be the last chance I
ever have
To talk to you before you go
So I gotta say I made I
big mistake
Girl, you know it's killin' me that I
"Chad, I don't really know. I… I want to believe you but…" Her tears now started to fall down her face uncontrollably. I hate that I have to see her cry. And I hate myself to be the reason for it.
"Don't worry. After this, if you want, I would disappear from your life. I won't bother you anymore. But please. Listen to me and try to understand, Sonny, please!"
She turned around and I saw her shoulders shake from crying. I grab her shoulders and turn her around gently so that she would face me.
Shoulda been a better man I coulda done this, I coulda done that
The
kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done
right by you
But
I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm
sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah
"Sonny, I know that you've moved on. But there's just so many things I wished I was able to do." I said as I wiped away her tears. She struggled a bit to get free from my grip so I sighed and let her go.
I should have done my best to
love you, baby Shoulda been a better
man (Coulda been a better man to
I should have placed no one above you
And now
it's killin' me more than you know
Letting you, that's why
I...girl, I know that I
shoulda
you, baby)
The kinda man that
you needed (Shoulda been there for
you every time you needed
me)
Woulda been better off (Every time you called me)
If I done
right by you (And you know that I coulda
done this)
"I should never have ignored you. I should have always put you at the top of my list. Sonny, do you know how much it's killing me to let you go? How much it's killing me to see you every day and knowing that you must be happy with someone else? Someone who really deserves you." I shook on the last part and started heading to the door on the opposite side of the room.
"Chad, I…" Sonny began, but I cut her off.
I coulda done this, I coulda done
that (Coulda done
that, yeah)
But I know I can't go back (You
know I can't go back,
baby)
'Cause now it's just too late
(All I know need to know
is, girl, all I need to know is)
I'm
sayin' shoulda woulda coulda, yeah (Do you love me
like you used
to, baby)
I know I shoulda, yeah
I know I woulda, yeah
(All the things I coulda done)
I know I coulda been a better man
(All the things I
shoulda done)
Said I shoulda woulda coulda,
yeah (Sayin' shoulda
woulda coulda, yeah)
I know I
shoulda, yeah (Yeah)
I know I woulda, yeah (Cooulda woulda
shoulda)
I know I coulda been a better man
Said I shoulda
woulda coulda, yeah (Yeah)
"I know. I know I shouldn't have taken so long. I know that I can't take you back anymore. I made a lot of mistakes, Sonny. But I am willing to change all of that. I swear, I am more than willing to change for you. I will be a better man for you. I would never ignore you." I faced her with tears in my eyes.
"Chad, I'm sorry. But… I…" She took a deep breath. "I have to go. I'm going to be late for my date with brad." She said. Her head was bent so I couldn't see her eyes.
"I understand. But Sonny, I have one question."
She looked up and I could see her tear streaked face. Her warm brown eyes were looking at me with curiosity.
"After all the things I've done. Do you still love me like how you used to?" I asked her with my hand on the doorknob.
I could tell that she was caught off guard by my question.
"I… I don't know Chad. I don't know." She whispered.
"I understand." I said. I twisted the knob and left her dressing room without looking back.
I ran to my dressing room and locked the door. I sank into the floor and cried. I should've… I could've… I would've…
Hey guys. Hoped you like this. I'm wondering though if I should keep on writing and make this one-shot a multi chapter. I dunno. Tell me what you think! Reviewzz.
