It all started with that one boy. The boy that makes you feel weak, makes butterflies flutter in stomach, his touch sends your body to linger for him. He’s the guy that you’d give everything up for if you really loved him and I did. 

On the day I failed he lost his life due to me. He’ll never see the sun rise again. I should’ve been there with him although we would both be dead. In a way I would prefer that way because maybe there is a little chance of stopping this constant suffering I feel every time I pass his house. It hurts to know his bedroom is empty and full of memory packed boxes. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. He cared about me and our music; he was there to support me when my parents were never interested but were of my older sister. It was always him and I know he will always be a constant reminder of my failure.
