The Moment...

So as I watched The Break-Up last night I noticed something.  I've written before about how movies speak to me and this one was no different.  There is one scene in the movie which stuck out above any other.  The two main characters after struggling throughout the entire movie, and they come to that single most important moment in a relationship.


The moment which will effect the rest of your life.  The edge of the blade, where you will fall.  Neither is right, it is fate.  This moment I have lived and I feel that it will at some point happen to us all.


You have been given your opportunity yet you blew it.  You have realized your mistake so you let it all out.  Everything.  Everything you have ever wanted to say but never did.  The words that you should have used for her, to show her how much you care, how much she means to you.  You look into her eyes hoping that she sees you.  You have nothing left.  Your cards are on the table.  Your chips are out.  Will it be too late.  You have to try.


As she begins to cry, you see it.  Who is this person.  Is this how you were.  The tears are empty.  She knows it is over.  So do you.  She gave you your chance.  "No it can't be!"  I can change her mind...please listen to me...I've never been so sincere.  She tells you to leave.  No wait.  Let me just hold you, you will feel it.  You will feel me.  Please leave.  But...  GET OUT!!! ...  Ok, where do you go from here.  How hard can you try.  How much is it worth.  Is love really enough?  


As you turn and walk out the door, as the shades close, you see the sun setting.  The rooms getting darker.  You look one last time into her eyes, yes you will see her again but this is the last time you will ever see HER.  You see her heart breaking.  You see her wanting to change the way it ends.  She wants it to never end.  But it's too late.  She's not in control.  Her hearts in an empty room with a shadow.  A box locked tight, and you will never again have the key.
