:48:01
You didn't want to know you mean?
:48:03
You were never so cruel before.
:48:07
And guess who taught me that?
:48:09
As for me, I feel as if
a new life has started
:48:14
now that I know
I have a daughter.
:48:17
A grown-up daughter to boot.
You don't have to look after her
:48:21
staying up at night,
to walk her to school...
:48:25
If I'm guilty of hurting you,
:48:29
I've been punished enough, so
there's no need to do it.
:48:34
Yes, I've led a useless life
all right.
:48:39
I've always pretended
it was just a rehearsal,
:48:45
that real life still lay
ahead.
:48:48
I've been married twice.
:48:50
My first wife ran out on me
and I left the second one.
:48:53
And now here I am, alone
with no kids, with no wife,
:48:58
not even anyone I can really
call a friend.
:49:05
How many times I've imagined
what it would be like meeting you.
:49:09
All the words I've so
carefully prepared.
:49:12
Now you're here and I don't
know what to say.
:49:17
For many years I didn't stop
loving you.
:49:22
But then I became hateful
and bitter.
:49:24
I wanted you to know
about my success,
:49:27
to make you see how wrong you were.
:49:33
But now I think
that it was all to the good.
:49:38
I wouldn't have become a success
if you had stayed.
:49:42
I'm glad that you didn't
marry me then,
:49:45
because in that case I wouldn't
have met a wonderful man
:49:48
whom I love now.
:49:52
Believe me, everything
will work out for the best.
:49:56
Life begins at 40.
It may sound trite, but it's true.
