STUDENT MINISTRY
TRUE LOVE WAITS
A Free Drama Script By Matt Tullos
This dramatic portrayal is a duet monologue. Both characters speak to the audience as if the other character wasn't there. It could be done as a reading which would allow the students to use the scripts inside black folders. Even if used as a reading, don't fail to spend an adequate amount of rehearsal time.
Guy: The relationship was going great, and we never planned to do the things we did. Neither one of us, but we thought we were in love
Girl: and love's a big word. We said it early
Guy: and often. I loved her. I really thought I did. Nothing
Girl: would ever come between us.
Guy: But it was as if the bridge between us came down
Both: And we lost everything.
Girl: It's crazy how the mind works when you think you've met the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Of course, we didn't set any limit to our affection
Guy: and after about three months of the frustration of having a physical relationship without sex we finally gave in.
Girl: But I can tell you from experience
Guy: that it didn't draw us any closer. In fact, we were so ashamed of what we did
Girl: that we vowed to never do it again, but after the first time, we had already compromised ourselves and it made it that much easier
Guy: to do it again. After a while our relationship was totally ... well ...
Both: deflated.
Girl: We were just like strangers to each other.
Guy: It even destroyed our friendship.
Girl: I haven't heard anything from him since we broke up and my family moved here and I really regret it.
Guy: I missed ... well, I still do miss the friendship.
Girl: It was taken from me. It was like the sex destroyed
Guy: everything that we had, and believe me,
Girl: we had a whole lot going for us before then.
Guy: I know that Christ has forgiven me. But I'm having a hard time forgiving myself.
Girl: I wasted a precious part of myself on someone that I'll probably never see again in my life. And every time that I'm with a guy, I feel guilty--almost like I'm not clean.
Guy: It's like when I go to church Satan shoves the mistake right in front of my face.
Both: I wish I knew what I know now. I wish I would have waited.
