How in the world was I alone? Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me.

And after I dropped him off, I took the longest possible route home... I explored alleys and hidden roads I never knew existed. I discovered neighborhoods entirely new to me. And finally... I discovered I was sick of this town and everything in it.

A week went by and nothing. But eventually, as they always will, the rumors reached me. And everyone knows you can't disprove a rumor.

You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now.

And in high school, people are always watching so there's always a reason to pose.

Could be my soul mate / two kindred spirits / Maybe we're not / I guess we'll never / know

Will I ever get control of my life? Will I always be shoved back and pushed around by those I trust?
