This is part 2 of the sad-ass mix I started just a little while ago. I just want her to figure out that there's nothing to be afraid of, but she may never figure that out - especially since she's decided to go out with someone else (in the meantime?), and if that's the case, I really need to know. There's a fifteen year old story arc here, folks. And it's hurting more than it otherwise might.

I hope I exorcise these demons but quick. I'm worried about her and I'm worried about me and there's nothing I can do but see what the next card brings.

1 Ani DiFranco : Untouchable Face
Although she misremembered me introducing her to Ani, it was she who introduced her to me. I never thought I'd be dedicating this song to her one day.
