The next morning, Valerie wakes up and the sun was set and shiny on that late winter morning. Valerie needed this sleep, and she felt a bit less heart broken. She wasn't heartbroken about what happened with Tony and Selena no more, but heartbroken because she broke up with Tony over something so ridiculous. Maybe this is what they needed, a break. But at the same time, everything was going smooth, but Valerie doesn't want to make up with Tony right after breaking up with him.
This was Valentine's day, where it was supposed to be romantic for all the couples, but Valerie was just moping around.
Time will heal wounds, so Valerie just have to give it a little more time . . .
Valerie decided on that morning, she was going to skip breakfast and listen to the rest of the playlist. At least she knows what she would've been doing on Feb. 21st so early in the month.
She stacked the last seven envelopes on her nightstand stationed next to her bed last night already. She picked up Envelope Twenty-One for track twenty one, and removed her iPod Nano from charging and went to play the track.
Track Twenty-One: Don't cry yourself to sleep
I was blown away, what could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You're taking away everything
And I can't deal with that
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?

Like Valerie didn't cry enough. She loved this song when she was younger, when Z100 played this song and she didn't knew the meaning of the lyrics, and she can now relate to it.
It's like you're little and you're watching Spongebob or Sesame Street or Dora, whatever Playhouse Disney or Noggin show and like 10 or so years later, you watch a video on YouTube and it explains the true meaning of the show . . . and you're like "Well,There goes my childhood."
Well, that's how Valerie felt with It's Not Over, "There goes my childhood."
