strongCas:/strong Being gone, I never felt so alone. I haven't seen myself since I last left home.

Received: December 1

strongMe:/strong It might seem wrong, but it's so right. So let us conjure up this feeling and paint the dreams we used to paint tonight.

Sent: December 2

strongCas:/strong It brings me down but I'm the one to blame. I've tried everything to get away. So here I go again, chasing you down. Why do I do this? Over and over, over and over I fall for you. Over and over, over and over I try not to.

Received: December 15

strongMe:/strongYou've held your head up. You've fought the fight, you bear the scars. You've done your time.

Sent: December 16

strongCas:/strong We're the perfect fit. You've got me hooked, so lit I could never quit I just burn away.

Received: December 17

strongMe:/strong The past, the future, they don't exist. All you have is now. Is this enough for you?

Sent: December 29

strongCas:/strong You are the rhythm to my rhyme. You are my radio, turn you up when I feel low. You are the soundtrack to all I know, you are the rock to my roll.

Received: Jan 4

strongMe:/strong Cold, but I'm still here. Blind, cause I'm so blind. Say never, we're far from comfortable this time. Cold, now we're so cold. Mine and you're not mine.

Sent: Jan 13

strongCas:/strong Oh Lord, oh Lord, what have I done? I've fallen in love with a man on the run. Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you please don't take that sinner from me.

Received: February 14

strongMe:/strong Hope dangles on a string like slow spinning redemption, winding in and winding out. The shine of it has caught my eye.

Sent: February 28

strongCas:/strong Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse.

Received: March 16

strongMe:/strong There's a devil in my head, an angel in my bed that's getting colder. I'm trying to warm it up with the only way I know.

Sent: March 19

strongCas:/strong Well take me, take me back to your bed. I love you so much it hurts my head. Say I don't mind you under my skin, I'll let the bad parts in.

Received: March 25

strongMe:/strong Maybe you love me after all. I'll take whatever brings you back. Nobody makes me feel like that. Please don't ever let me lose your light, in this dark you are my light.

Sent: June 12

strongCas:/strong You always thought that I left myself open. But you didn't know I was already broken.

Received: July 3

strongMe:/strong If it's no one's fault there's just no one to blame and nothing to say. This time it's no one's fault. Oh, there's nothing to save and no one to hate. But I want you so bad, believe me.

Sent: July 27

strongCas:/strong And I got the point that I should leave you alone, but we both know that I'm not that strong. And I miss the lips that made me fly.

Received: August 28

strongMe:/strong I know you mean well with your ancient code of ethics.

Sent: September 4

strongMe:/strong And being clear gets too much for me, just like it does for you. Even though I want to, I want to, I don't. I don't feel like calming down, no, I don't. I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't. I can't turn the volume down so I sit here in this chaos and piss, watching the storm passing.

Sent: October 12

strongCas:/strong If luck is on my side tonight, my clumsy tongue will make it right, and wrists that touch. It isn't much, but it's enough to form imaginary lines. Forget your scars, we'll forget mine. The hours change so fast. Oh, God, please make this last.

Received: October 14

StrongMe:/strong I'm throwing away pictures that I never should have taken in the first place. And it's cold in my apartment as I'm changing all the colors from the brightest reds to grays. Well, it's 3 o clock on Monday morning.

Sent: October 17

strongCas:/strong Breathe for love tomorrow, cause maybe there's another day.

Received: October 21

strongMe:/strong Despite the miles between us my heart will never change, cause you're all that it beats for. When you're all back to that door, I'm not saying that I don't believe I'm exactly where I want to be. Don't you take that from me, no. You know I still get lost in your eyes, with your lips and your kiss and your hand in mine. You're all that I need and I promise I'll sleep fine tonight just knowing you're here by my side. Don't give this up, don't give this up.

Sent: November 10

strongCas:/strong And next to you, and I never asked for more. I get my fix if I get close to you, with just a dose of you.

Received: November 19

"Message received November 19th at seven fifteen PM: emHello, Dean. I apologize, but I cannot seem to get away this weekend. Perhaps next weekend. I hope to see you soon./em" It took everything he had to not throw his phone into the wall.
