[glow=red,2,300]He told her to meet him
At the theater in town
To show up there
As the sun was going down
He stayed late after work
Completing a project of his own
Compiling all the home videos
Into the movie that was shown
They took seats together
Sitting side by side
But having her beside him
Stripped away his pride
It started with a scene
Of the play they'd starred in
The part where they'd kissed
His head started to spin
How could she do this,
Do this to him?
How did things turn out
Looking so grim?
The film played on
Slowly turning the reel
Telling her exactly
How she made him feel
But everything had changed
When she had that affair
That’s when he knew
She didn't truly care
The last act slowly faded
The one where he'd proposed
The one where she had lied
But now true emotions were exposed
Silently the final slide
Began to appear
Where in bright golden letters
It spelled out her worst fear
As was shown on the screen
She knew this was the end
The perfect finale
Telling her not to pretend
She looked at him
As he quietly walked away
With tears in her eyes
She begged him to stay
He explained to her
How things had to be
She knew it would kill her
But she had to agree
So they left the theater
Both alone that day
Yet their lives are still
Better off this way
She lost her first love
But she'll be okay
She just has to remember
The prices to pay
