CHARACTERS

1
When I see you—

2
I want to say something.

1
Even just say hi—

2
But you always look away—

1
Never meet my eyes—

2
I keep watching until you pass—

1
Just in case you look up.

2
But you never do.

1
But you never do.

(Beat.)

2
It’s been a while—

1
Since we talked.

2
Too long.

1
What happened?

1
What happened?

(Beat.)

1
I wonder sometimes.

2
We used to be close—

1
At least I think we did—

2
Or maybe I’m imagining it—

1
Maybe it’s always been this way.

2
Who knows.

1
I wonder if you feel the same—

2
If you ever think of me.

1
You probably don’t.

2
I doubt you do.

(Beat.)

1
Sometimes I wonder—

2
If things had gone slightly differently—

1
How close we might’ve been—

2
Even just a slight shift—

1
And it could all be different—

2
Because that’s how it works—

1
It’s all coincidences—

2
Relationships aren't any different—

1
No less random.

(Beat.)

2
Do you ever think of me?

1
Do you wonder too?

(Beat.)

1 AND 2
Who am I kidding?

(Blackout.)
