" look, i'm sorry i didn't do it sooner, okay? but i left him. " she paused in her words, licking at her lips quickly. " please stop being mad at me. "

"i am not drunk enough for this..."

          ❛ you never answered my calls, my letters—- you never gave me an explanation. so FUCK YOU and your ‘sorry’. ❜ but she’s still here. ❛ why wouldn’t you see me ? i waited for you. ❜
