Voice.I listen to songs that shouldn't remind me of you. They should remind me of summer and sun, of mischief and laughter and joy. They should remind me of running running running through the rain with no destination in mind, just the sense of lightness and freedom that fills my body.Voice.
I listen to songs with words I don't know in languages I don't speak, so there's nothing to spark a memory.

Finis.Years pass, things change - but not this. For a while she consoled herself by thinking that if she stuck, you know, fought the good fight, he'd come around eventually.

Phoenix NightYou are like vodka on an empty stomach, and I am rolling on silk here. Your hip kissing lips are breaking this bottle-shaped heart. Your faithless replies catch like thorns in my skin; I'm beginning to like the feeling. And you may not be quite trustworthy, but you are just so lust-worthy that the feel of you is sin. What you really need is a taste of your own medicine, because it's badly addictive and we are quickly losing sight of the point of the lightning strike that began this whole charade.
