From: Danny, To: Poppy - Can u please call me? I need to hear your voice.

From: Poppy, To: Danny - No.

From: Danny, To: Poppy - I'm going crazy without you.

From: Poppy, To: Danny - Five minutes.

"I'm timing five minutes."

"You sound exhausted, Pop. Have you slept?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I just can't."

"Have you tried?"

"Why try when I know the result?"

"That's like saying why live when you're ultimately going to die."

"Now you understand my logic."

"You sound different."

"How so?"

"I don't know. You just don't sound like your usual teenage girl filled with angst."

"Oh, I know the difference. This is what giving up sounds like."

"Poppy, what do you mean?"

"You used to make me feel like I could walk on water, but now, since you've been gone, hundred pound weights have been added to my feet."

"Poppy-"

"You're the reason why I can't listen to Brand New anymore."

"Poppy-"

"I write poetry about you all the time. I probably don't even run through your mind."

"You're all I think about."

"Then why'd you leave?"

"Because I had to, God damn it!"

"..."

"Poppy, I'm sorry. I know how much you hate cursing."

"It's been five minutes. Bye, Danny."

"I love y-"
