you tell mike this secret
you say he never made me come and that is NOT generally a probelm for me you know?
mike says woah well i don't mean to brag but i have never NOT made a woman come


you almost ask him to prove it

you're tired of secrets.
he didn't. probably not even his fault he tried a good try and you faked it with him, you faked it because...why? because you couldn't stand him trying to make you feel good? because you were trying to make him feel good. i don't know it's fucked up, don't expecet me to be able to explain why you could never just let him
just let him


he's gone and everyone around you says you are beautiful and they put arms around you and you let yoruself be held
you let yoruself drink and drink and rink
until it's time to go
and amy drives you
and everything is blurry

you're breathing heavy and she says are you asleep but the secret now is that you're not, you're trying not to be sick because this is the most fucked up you've been since high school

you just wanted to go out with the beautiful people
you just wanted to have fun
someone promised you you would laugh
and you did
oh god you did you did you did
laughed until
nothing
hurt
anymore.

you're home and amy took you inside which is good because keys are difficult and maybe you would still be on the step but now you're heer you should have water but you can't because you'll get sick you'll get sick just don't get sick because he is not worth getting sick over anymore
nobody is worth getting sick over
he never was
he never will be
and if he was with some other girl next door watching some show, parchment something, carsten knows but you don't whatever whatever...if some girl was there then you could have still been that girl

and you don't want to be that girl.
you are not that girl.
you are a thousand millionj times more than that girl.
and that's why you said no

and everyone knows it

and you;re still drunk and cold and by yourself but you know, by yoruselve has started to feel bgood

you will regret this tomorrow
you don't care
your'e goinhg to bed now.

you said thank you to everyone for loving you because they did love you and help you and amy says you can never go to this block again
that block of mission between 21st and 22nd and she's right
she's right
you're never going there again
