Intermediate - I’m Sorry I love You IV (C0045)

A: ... so, I said, ”let’s take a break .” And since that

night, I’ve been waiting for him to call, but I still

haven’t heard from him. You don’t think he’s seeing someone else, do you?

B: Come on, don’t be so dramatic! I’m sure everything is going to work out just fine.

A: You think so? Oh, no! How can he do this to me?

I’m sure he’s cheating on me! Why else wouldn’t

he call?

B: But, you two are on a break. Theoretically he can

do whatever he likes.

A: He’s the love of my life! I’ve really messed this up.

B: Come on, hon. Pull yourself together. It’s going to

be alright.

c 2008 Praxis Language Ltd.A: But I... I still love him! And it’s all my fault! I can’t

believe how immature and selfish I was being. I

mean, he is a firefighter, it’s not like he can just

leave someone in a burning building and meet me

for dinner. I’ve totally messed this up!

B: You know what, Veronica, I think you should make

the first step. I’m sure he’ll forgive you...

A: No, this is not gonna happen! I... I’ve ruined everything....

B: Hey... do you hear something? Guess what? It’s

your lovely firefighter!

C: When I had you, I treated you bad and wrong

dear. And since, since you went away, don’t you

know I sit around with my head hanging down and

I wonder who’s loving you.
