I still want proof

8:14 p to me?

11:43 pm, MONDAY

You did this to me I deserve an explanation

6:13 a to come back I wonder what you’ll do to me Are you mad?

2:30 pm, TUESDAY

You have to be the devil Only the devil would leave me like this

2:12 am, WEDNESDAY

Do you have any idea what it’s like for me now?

The burden I feel is the burden of responsibility, which is a tricky one to deal with It makes me slower, heavier But at the salessness

It is six in theNathan’s emails, I think about what Rhiannon said, what Rhiannon feared Nathan deserves no less of a response froain That is an absolute I can’t explain much more than that, but this much I know: It only happens once Then you move on

He writes me back two minutes later

Who are you? How aive runs the risk of being posted on Reverend Poole’s website within seconds I don’t want to give hiive him a name, it will make it less likely he sees me as the devil, and more likely he will see me for what I am: just a person like him

My name is Andrew You need to believe me because I am the only person who truly understands what happened to you

Not surprisingly, he replies with:

Prove it

I tell him:

You went to a party You didn’t drink You chatted with a girl there Eventually she asked you if you wanted to go dance in the basement You did And for about an hour, you danced You lost track of time You lost track of yourself And it was one of the most fantastic moments of your life I don’t know if you remember it, but there will probably coain, and it will feel familiar, you will know you’ve done it before That will be the day you forgot That’s how you’ll get that part of it back

This isn’t enough

But as I there?

I try to keep it siirl For just that one day, you wanted to talk to that girl

He asks:

What is her naet her involved I can’t explain the whole story So I choose to evade

That’s not i is that for a short ti so much fun that you lost track of time That’s why you were at the side of the road You didn’t drink You didn’t crash You just ran out of time

I’m sure it was scary I’m positive it’s hard to coain
