I remember when Steven called my parent's house. He didn't say hi. He just made me promise that I would never leave his side. I guess a lot of time has passed since then, right? Then why can't I get that night off of my mind? I thought that since summer was perfect, autumn would follow suit, that basement shows would never end, and there would be another chance to see all those new friends. When I said goodbye, it haunts me that I didn't hug him. But he said he would call before the weekend, but Friday was as silent as Saturday. My parents sent me the article on Sunday... but Friday was as silent as Saturday. I guess a lot of time has passed since then, right? So why can't I get that night off of my mind? Steven, how could you have swallowed all those pills? I'm still waiting for you to call and for you to tell me that it's not my fault, but there's no resurrection, there's just decay.
