Then I Saw You

Heartfelt Audition Monologue

I saw you the other day, outside your father’s house down on Fourth Street… You were wearing that blue sundress, the one your mother bought for you, the one with the flowers… You looked so alive and happy… Almost like I never existed. And as I looked at you, I thought to myself, look what you let get away…

Or did I push you away? (breathe) Then I saw him come out of the house and wrap you up, and you were smiling as he kissed you. You never smiled like that with me!

 

You never even looked at me! Didn’t you know I was crazy about you? Didn’t you know that I would have done anything for you? Anything! (breathe) But you didn’t even know me, we barely spoke one word to one another. And after all the wasted time I quit trying to get your attention. You moved on with your life as If I was never part of it, and I never truly let you go. It’s been four years, and I finally began to move on with my life. I met a girl and I got a new job…. Everything seemed good again, then I saw you.
