Max finds the letter Theo wrote at the beginning of the chapter, and inside his plans to end their relationship. The discovery comes as a shock to him, and even though Theo insists he has changed his mind, Max decides to spend some time apart anyway.
[MAX]
"Dear Max
I was hoping to do this the right way
But I lose the nerve
Every time I look in your eyes
Having you so close these last few days
Made me see that we should go our separate ways
Where is the fun?
Where are the Sundays spent in bed?
Where is the flame?
Can't be same until we're dead
I just have to go
Now that I know
Now that the going's always tough
I love you
I just don't love you enough"
[THEO, spoken]
Oh, you found thе letter
[MAX, spoken]
It had my name on it
You wеre going to break up with me
[THEO, spoken]
I didn't mean what I said
I panicked because of lockdown, just...
Just give me a chance and I'll prove it to you
[MAX, spoken]
You don't have to
[MAX & THEO & BOTH]
I can see it clear as day
As clear as I see you
Remember the fun?
Remember the Sundays spent in bed?
(You think you decide, I don't get a say?)
Remember the flame?
You know I'm ashamed of what I said
(You're a coward, a liar, a stupid, old cliche)
I can't let you go
I need you to know
(It's true, and honestly)
I need you to know
How strongly I feel
I love you
Just not enough
I love you
Just not enough
I love you
Just not enough
I just don't love you enough
[THEO, spoken]
Where are you going?
[MAX, spoken]
Upstairs. The neighbors gave me their key, I—
I think I'm better of sheltering alone
[THEO, spoken]
Max, please
[MAX, spoken]
No. We need a breather
[THEO]
I love you
(spoken) I love you
I love you...
