Not him. I get it, boys. You see him. You want him. I’ve been there. I live there. But if you want to fight someone, if you want to hurt someone, it’s going to have to be me. Not him. / I was a bad guy. He was a good guy. He looked at me like he didn’t see the bad things I’d done. He looked at me... like I was beautiful. Maybe that’s how he sees everyone. But I really thought he wanted to kiss me... and I was ready. I’ve been ready ever since. / I’m... I’m changing. I’m forgetting—how to feel. I’m losing myself. I’m drowning. John. Help me. I need an anchor. I need a center. I need—I need you.
