Another day is another goodbye

I won't say you're the issue

I take a deep breath and allow myself to let go of all the stress then I suddenly hear footsteps "are you okay?" Blake said "actually no I'm not can I talk to you? I just really need to get all this off my chest." "Yes of course" he said.

I take off the clothes I was wearing and put the dress on. I stare at my reflection for a minute or two and I've never looked so "pretty." I walk down to the beach and I see....
