Keep on keeping it real
Cause it keeps getting easier indeed
He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself...

My eye lashes fluttered as I blinked into the window-opening. The night was cold and calm. It was , as others would have noted, beautiful and yet here I was unhappy. My only love had slipped away. Not by his choice, but mine. I was foolish and now that I realize it, I can't take it all back. He's gone away and now here I am holding on to nothing else but memories. Feel good memories. My mind felt poisonous and my lips felt cold. School was over and summer was a bore now that I have to take day by day on my own.

As the wind blew in and my hair blew with it, another cold memory flashed back.
