“Our” Song

“The Way We Were” sung by Barbra Streisand. And the movie.

I knew he had left me already, even though we sat together in the movie theater. He had not told me he was leaving. I just knew. I hate knowing before something happens. I hate being right so often. Why couldn’t I be one of those clueless females? They are at least happy until the truth slaps them in the face or maybe it just gently envelopes their hearts.

Tears streamed down my face during the movie. I wanted to tell her in the movie “don’t lose him, don’t push him away” because it will hurt so badly.

How did I lose him? I don’t know. I knew her. She was seductive and she seduced him in my presence. I told him I never wanted to be around her and her husband again. He agreed.

Her husband called to tell me his wife and my husband said they were “in love”. I dropped the phone and sobbed. Her husband took a gun and shot himself in the head.
