I.
History books remind us of what we are, and what we are not.
(trying is foolish. better not to pretend)
The past is the past, and maybe we don’t want to go back, because what we are without her is stronger than we ever knew we could be.
Bright eyes, Lilly, we would’ve followed you everywhere.
II.
Close your eyes and count backwards, and we can speed time up or slow it down to get us through this life.
Some of us want to protect and some of us want to heal.
Some of us need to heal.
Logan, take my hand. I never wanted us to have to be so tough.
III.
Soliloquies in English class.
To be or not to be, and all the world’s a stage.
As if we didn’t already know.
They say high school is hell, but they don’t know the half of it.
If journeys end in lovers meeting, what is this life we’re living now?
IV.
One day of rain, and I spend it crying.
(i don’t cry. get tough and then get even, remember?)
Broken tapestries etched into your back, and I wasn’t there. I should’ve gotten tough earlier. You got tough too young.
Forgiveness is just a word to make people feel better. Forgetting is just a promise we can’t fulfill.
We can live forever if you never let me go.
V.
This isn’t perfect, but maybe it’s the only real thing left.
I can’t hide forever. I won’t hide forever.
Self is a secret I keep underneath my tongue.
Kiss me and it’s yours.
Kiss me and I’m yours.
(i will not forget you, Lilly)
Logan, this is all the truth I have left.

AN: Turns out I get super-angsty when I watch this show while having a l'il bit to drink. Logan + Veronica = One of my favorite pairings ever.
