that was your fault, your decision. But hey, I tried remember? I worked my ass off trying to be with you, I stayed even when everyone told me to leave, I LOVED you when you probably only saw me as a crush, I put up with the things you did that other guys would’ve probably left you for, I did my best to be patient with you, I tried not to hurt you even though it was killing me, when you were sad or mad I was always there for you, there was never a minute where I never stopped thinking of you, I couldn’t stop missing you even if I tried, I spent how much money just for you, I made sure you went to sleep on the phone before me even if it was already 2am on a school night, I wanted to make you feel safe in my arms knowing I would protect you with my life, I always tried to make you smile, even if I was mad at you I couldn’t stay mad even for more than 2 minutes, I easily got jealous or overprotective because I wanted you to know that I wanted you to be mine and ONLY MINE, I would send you long texts at random times just to show you how much I cared about you, I told you corny things just to try and make you laugh, I planned out how many things we were gonna do when we became a couple.. I hate the fact that I knew we could’ve been something. I still have those nights where I lay down on my bed, holding the bear you got me for Valentine’s Day and think about what went wrong between us and if it was my fault or not… I know, I fall too fast, I fall too hard, I get attached easily, I’m overprotective and get jealous easily, BUT I CARED.. and now look where it got me. Alone. Without you. And tbh, I still find myself missing you when I know you’re still not missing me. But I have no choice but to move on. </3
Mine and my brothers favorite episode.A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to snake his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “do what feels, sounds, and looks right” approach to his acting.
So I’ll just leave this here. Enjoy.still hits deep. one of my top favorite, most well respected actor.
As touching as that story is…Will Smith had a great father and always mentions how he admired his father’s parenting skills. His dad raised him and 3 siblings and did a great job. So in all reality his life had nothing to do with that scene and he’s just a good actor.
whoa shit, almost made me cry doug o.o
