I could have survived and went on forever,
Without any trouble nor a single disaster,

She does...

From Holly

Dear Oliver, how long has it been?

I would wear my hair over the shoulders
long and...

Sky was cloudy and grey, he could use a fan
Held a locket. I think he wanted to sell
To fill his wallet and pocket to excel
Listened to a small...
