So what's all this talk about? I don't think you are for real. To give up hope after you've gone so far would put you right back where you were yesterday. And you don't want that, Do you? Stop trying to force things. You know that you were never…

It's all just a blur (since the time I last saw you) Eat, sleep, and dream, but I can't feel. I live in the past so that I won't forget a single thing. I wonder again if you ever miss me? I'd give anything, but that's so cliche. You live in my…
