'And everything you whispered seemed to fade away into nothing,
and all the words shortened to the wind blowing through the cracked window sill,
and every kiss lingered ghostly on my skin,
and every touch itched out my veins and onto the cold wooden floor,
where I lied thinking about you'
❝Why are you doing this?!❞
❝Because I want to *save* you.❞
❝You don't even know me.❞
❝Then tell me about yourself.❞
