Back to the streets where we began

Feeling as good as lovers can, you know

Well, now we're feeling so good


-

RK: I have something good to tell you when I get there.

SH: Prepare yourself, I've also got some great news for tonight!

8:57 pm

She had three minutes, exactly three minutes to get to the restaurant, it wasn't very easy to run in heels and she had decided she regretted forgetting to get gas. 

Her best friend, Silven was always early, wherever they went, but she had insisted on going alone. Even though each time they go out Silven would offer her a ride, but no. She wanted to be responsible for once.

Pickin' up things we shouldn't read

It looks like the end of history as we know

It's just the end of the world

The streets weren't completely crowded but still busy for the time. She bolted as fast as her short legs would take her through the sewage-scented streets. It was surprisingly dark, slightly foggy, but it seemed more like smoke because some areas were chokingly thick. Vehicle horns blared constantly as this was high point for crashes, dark and busy.

Back to the street where we began

Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

She had very little time left and she was determined to make it to the location, she was going to confess to Silven how she felt. The girl was shockingly gay, for the introvert she seemed, nobody would really expect it if even if they knew her well. She was always good at keeping secrets.

Into a place, where thoughts can bloom

Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon

And we know that it could be

And we know that it should

And you know that you feel it too

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Continuing her sprinting she was beginning to run out of breath, she decided to slow down. She felt like crying and could hardly see with the tears welling in her pale eyes. It was disorienting but she began to jog. She questioned if she should even show up tonight, what if Silven doesn't want to be friends anymore? But instead downgrade. She could only assume she didn't like her back, Silven has dated boys before but no girls, yet. 

Your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon

Her mind switched back to positivity, she would never leave her! They're best friends. Her positivity only distracted herself from the road ahead, because her pessimistic side only boomed over top, a small sob escaping. Her breath hitched, she stopped her small jog and wiped her eyes. Only to be met by a familiar horn and brights in her vision. 


Your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Oh, what a pity to cry, and only to end the young night.

It's alright, she would have died from heartbreak anyways. 

9:00 pm

Back to the street

Down to our feet

Losing the feeling of feeling unique

Do you know what I mean?

-

SH: Hey, I know you're running a little late, but I couldn't wait to tell you! I got a new boyfriend and I'm super excited for you to meet him.

...

Back to the place, hey

Where we used to say

Man it feels good to feel this way

Now I know what I mean


Back to the street, back to the place,

Back to the room where it all began

Back to the street, back to the place,

Back to the room where it all began

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon


Your eyes are the size of the moon

You could 'cause you can so you do

We're feeling so good

Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon
