"the hardest pill to swallow is knowing that tomorrow you're not mine"

Maia came from class early and there wasn't much to do. She decided to take a nap but couldn't seem to sleep. Then it hit her: Jack was getting married tomorrow.

"i know I can't help if you meet someone else"

"you can take her home, she can get you high. You can hold her heart even after you broke mine"

This was really it. A year after he broke her heart he was going to get married. She knew what she had to do. It was time for the next step in her life. To fully focus on her career or try and get back to into dating.

"You can kiss her softly, never make her cry. You can tell her that you love her as long as it's a lie"

The tears came back. This time it was happy tears. She was finally letting go. She felt at ease at last.

"Promise you'll lie"
