A Day Late
Basically a little spin-off of Duck
Pedigree, Julie is married to Dean but she starts to think of what
would've happened had she chosen Adam.
I don't own the ducks
nor any rights to the song.
"So let me get this
straight, you say now you loved me all along?"
Julie asked
of Adam. She just couldn't understand what he was saying. He had
moved back to Minnesota years ago and they had talked a million
times, and now this?
But of course she too remembered the passion
they once had for each other, back in high school, when everything
was simple.
What made you hesitate to tell me with words what
you really feel?
"Adam look at me." He reluctantly made
his eyes meet hers.
I can see it in your eyes you mean all of
what you say.
"You must realize that this is completely
insane. I mean hello!" Julie threw one hand towards the opposite
wall, exasperated. He looked around the room. There were blown up
pictures of Julie and Dean's wedding, of their first child. He felt
guilty but he couldn't keep pretending the feelings didn't exist.
"Why, Adam?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
I remember
so long ago, see I felt that same way.
"Does Connie know
about this?" Julie demanded of him. He shook his head no. How could
he tell his wife he loved her best friend?
Now we both have
separate lives and lovers and insignificantly enough we both have
significant others.
Julie sighed and sat down next to
him.
Only time will tell, time will turn and tell.
When
she looked up again he wasn't the twenty-eight year old man
anymore, her memory flooded her mind and she saw the sixteen year old
boy she was sure she loved.
We are who we were when, could've
been lovers…
The memory faded and the reality of the
situation hit her hard.
"This can't happen, Adam."
"I
know." He spoke. "Connie and Dean both deserve
better."
"But…"
But at least you're still my day
late friend.
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what
we know now
Could've been more but at least you're still my day
late friend
We are who, we are who we were when…
"But?"
He asked her.
"I…" She started.
But thoughts they
change and times they rearrange I don't know who you are
anymore
Loves come and go and this I know
I'm not who you
recall anymore
But I must confess you're so much more then I
remember
I can't help but entertain these thoughts, thoughts of us
together.
"No, nothing. It's crazy."
"Yeah." He
agreed. "I just…couldn't ignore it anymore." Julie nodded in
agreement.
We are who we were when
Could've been lovers but
at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who
we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could've been more but
at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who
we were when
My day late friend…
"So let me get this
straight…" Julie started. Her mind was reeling with
possibilities, but the thought of it weighed on her mind.
All
these years and you were no where to be found
And now you want me
for your own
But you're a day late and my love, he's still my
love.
"Forget it, Julie. I have to go."
We are
who we were when
Could've been lovers but at least you're still my
day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when
Who knew
what we know now
Could've been more but at least you're still my
day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when
