Anymore by Travis Tritt
I can't hide the way I feel about you
Anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside
Keep the pain out of my eyes
Anymore
My tears no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
I'm tired of pretending
I don't love you anymore
Let me make one last appeal to show you
How I feel about you
Cause there's no one else I swear
Holds a candle anywhere next to you
My heart can't take the beating
Not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says, I can't keep pretending
I don't love you
Anymore
I've got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life
My tears no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
But my mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending
I don't love you anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Sunday
Olivia was at home relaxing after a long week. She was so glad it was the weekend. Noah had just left earlier for a summer camp through his school. His school had partnered with a camp for both day camps and three week sessions where kids could live at the camp. It was his first time away from home and he was excited. Olivia of course was nervous and sad how quickly her little boy was growing up.
Three whole weeks by herself. What would she do? She could stay up late, go out to a bar or even have friends over. Would she? Probably not. Olivia laughed.
One constant thing or person was always on her mind. His presence was never far away. Ten years ago he disappeared. One day he was by her side. And just as quickly one day he was gone. He reappeared the same as he left with no notice or warning.
Elliot had been back living in New York for ten months. Back for ten months and gone for ten years. Odd how quickly time passes Olivia thought. She hadn't seen him in three months. She had tried when he first came back to stay in touch. However no matter how hard they tried there was a wall between them. Maybe too much time had passed?
Olivia was going to try one last time. She needed to know if there was still something there. Did she love Elliot and did he love her? Olivia had never been so scared to open her whole heart to someone. She sent a letter asking him to meet her next Saturday at Wagner Cove in Central Park at 8pm. A letter was risky but she had to take a chance or move on.
