I'd like to think, that beyond this bristling carpet of reeds and half-hearted, long-forgotten blooms, she'll be waiting.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5vzaW15F0

I'd like to think, that once the night sky spreads its wings and brings the dancing stars to light, and wretched, sinful Isabelle still hasn't returned home - I'd like to think that perhaps her parents might regret the words they said, might regret the palms of their hands stinging red against my face.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7AMkt1QRm
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j8aRGE2FA
A hundred days have made me older727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYSUNbGUoR
They told me that God loves us all, and will always be with us; but now, tears streaming onto my clasped hands and down into the river, silence is the only response.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHAj8iG7J2
A thousand lies have made me colder727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KX5P3xdmM
They never met her. Never met Maddy. They heard her name, spoke to her parents, but they never met her, and I hate them for that, more than I hate them for the scars on my cheeks.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nlycP9rtf
They just heard about her. And when they did, they forgot about Isabelle, that poor girl became me; the one they couldn't love. Their daughter was killed by a phone call.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLeqLauLmM

We were lying about why I was there, and we were lying side by side - lying side by side, earphones in to maintain the charade of studying - I could've lived in that moment forever. Just holding her hand in mine, knowing she was right beside me, seeing what I was seeing, hearing what I was hearing, feeling what I was feeling.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnLK4kk9lm
Door opening.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qY9dV4rM

3 Doors Down's Here Without You cuts to silence.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnFCol3W7T
Door closing.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuM36ojkEA
And then Maddy's parents called mine.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQnWdsavVi
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZefWDwZuC
I lay my head down in the river, floating hair making a red halo on the surface of the water, newly sprouted reeds grasping desperately at my scalp.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdDgn9zZE
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXitHSvVQ0
I slowly push off the bank with my feet, and as my ears submerge, I can hear her singing the song, the song we both loved so much -
A hundred days have made me older727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGU0gg7k1J
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmiD3l3l38
A thousand lies have made me colder727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiHj6JAl6x
And I don't think I can look at this the same
I can hear her singing, I can hear her, and I'm coming Maddy I'm coming -
You're still with me in my dreams727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBfJ9V0f7
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

She'll be waiting for me.
