The scent fills the air.

Maybe you can pretend to care.

It's Cherry-Blossom

With a smidgen of vanilla.

My favorite.

The scent fills the air. 

It's my new perfume.

Susceptible.

I hit rock-bottom.


Did you even notice - I died my hair brown?

Did you even see it - when I screamed "clown-fish"?

Yeah...

Did you even cry when I talked about our first dance?

Did you even laugh when I told you about my first time

On a roller-coaster?

Why am I even here?

You only treat me like a candle:

I go whichever way the wind blows.

I wore this for you.
