Act 1

I think I deserve a ‘Best Actor’ award For my performance as the Hopeless Romantic in the One Sided Lover Although it’s more my life than a role I was given a script but once I saw you I forgot my lines You being the female lead that I was destined to fall for but never get How cruel this production can be They told me to act helpless But I didn’t need to act I was already helpless enough Couldn’t get through those eye contact scenes without my mind blanking “Cut! From the top, and for Godsakes remember your cue” My cue? Right this is a production Nothing that happens here is real We’re just characters on a screen But are we? Are my feelings for you not true? But I can't lie that when I look into those eyes of yours I feel like Jack from the Titanic Sinking into icy waters Let me rephrase that Sinking under this immense pressure of professionalism that remains unspoken between us I have to keep this act going just a bit longer But can I? Can I make it through my scenes without tripping up? Can I remember my lines? Will I be cut from the production? Will this One Sided love story have room for two?
