That girl in your class, she laughs. She has a smile that lights up an entire room. That girl in your class, she has great grades that it seems like she doesn't even have to try. That girl in your class, she has seemingly amazing friends who care ab...
We cut and kill flowers because we think they're beautiful. We cut and kill ourselves because we think we are not.
I grab her wrist as she is dangling from the rooftop and she looks up at me and says, " Alex, let go of me. I'll be fine I promise." "You stupid idiot, I'm not letting go of you ever. I love you, dummy." I say as I pull her all way up onto the roof and hug her. "Please don't leave me," she says looking at me. "Always." "Always," she says smiling and holds my hand tightly.
"Hey Sage, what kind of shorts does a cloud wear?" I say smiling. "What?" She says smirking. "Thunderwear," I say as she laughs and punches my arm softly. I made you laugh. And it was like the stars aligned and the heavens opened up. I realize how much I adore you and that terrifies me.
"I love you Alex," she says kissing my cheek. "I love you too," I say as I feel myself blush. "Prove it. Scream it to the world," she says laughing. I lean over to her ear and whisper,"I love you Sage." She looks at me with a questionable look and says,"Why did you whisper it to me?" I lean into her face and say after I kiss her forehead,"Because you are my world"
I used to fill every thought bubble with ideas of death but, now I just want to keep your hand in mine for the rest of my life and now I never want to die.We walk through the halls of our school, fingers entwined as people stare at us. Girls that have crushes on me give her dirty looks.
We walk all the way to my house and as usual my parents aren't home. I walk all inside till I get to my room and she's right behind me. I open the door and pick up my guitar and sit on the couch in my room. "Come sit with me Sage. I wanna sing you something special," I say patting the space next to me and she sits down.

Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift The type that sticks around like something in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep Spilling drinks on my settee
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sort of hoping that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the guts? Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you I don't know if you feel the same as I do But we could be together if you wanted to
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sort of hoping that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you (crawling back to you) Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few) 'Cause I always do ('cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?) Too busy being yours to fall (Sad to see you go) Ever thought of calling darling? (Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawling back to you?
I sit my guitar on my lap and look up at her. She's blank faced and showing no emotions.
I smile at her and poke her cheeks but, she says," Your smile makes me want to vomit." I feel like her words have stabbed me in the chest. She stands up and starts to walk to the door but, I grab her wrist and pull her to me. "Sage.....Please tell me your joking," I say trying to hold back tears. "Alex, I tried giving you one happy moment with me since I know you love me. But, I don't feel the same way and I think it's best if you were to leave me alone. I don't love you and I never will. So, please go away Alex. Your sweet but, I can't love you I tried," she says.
I let go her wrist and everything go blank. All I hear is her screaming my name over and over. "Alex, I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I'm just afraid I'll hurt you," she says shaking me. But, I feel nothing and I feel myself being submerged in darkness.
"Ignore me. I'm sad and I will make you sad. We will disappoint ad hurt and leave each other. And then you will forget me. I become too attached to people too easily. People like you. It's already happened, but I don't want to ask too much of you. I don't want to ruin all the fun you're having. I'll just leave now. I'll go away so you can enjoy yourself," I say as I get out the house and start running till I'm lost to the pint where I don't know where I am.
From the second we are born we start drying. So this isn't life, this is death.
