lucky you, huh?

“Mantle needed me, and to the Marigolds, that meant I wasn’t their son anymore. And I made sure that everyone knew that I wasn’t their daughter.”

FRIEND

Darkness like midnight Moonless there’s no light Another lonely day is ending

Searching forever Waiting but never finding The only thing i dream of

The warmth of a smile That stays for a while The face of a friend That won’t leave

I heard a song once It posed this point of view That wishes made on stars Are likely to come true

So here’s my secret At bedtime every night I searched the sky And hoped to find A star who’d send a light to me

The one thing I need Just one kind soul With a heart of gold

Then my dreams became real And I finally feel not alone

Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

My wish came true The day that you appeared And called me friend An answered prayer A chance to share the world To be a girl who fin'lly felt alive

I’m so excited We’ll do so many friendship things Paint our nails Try on clothes Talk about cute boys

Attached but not by strings

And when you’ve got problems Woah! Then I’ve got problems too You’ll never face this world alone I’ll be right here it’s you and me Protectors of each other’s what we’ll be You saw my soul Through the nuts and bolts

You’re the friend i can trust Helped me see i’m not just a machine

And is this what “all the feels” means?

I’ve been combat-ready since the day dad made me Now I’ll fight for something more This might sound wholesome but strangely I’ve got friends I’m fighting for

But I found that humanity It came with sacrifice, a pact To shield you from the wicked even if I can’t Live for real, it was worth it to know you
