&ldquo;I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.&rdquo; <br /> ― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

oh but don’t say good bye
the curtain hasn’t fallen yet
oh but why must you leave so soon
you must at least stay for dinner
oh but the story hasn’t ended
you are turning the pages too fast to skip to the ever after
oh but you are too young to go
you can’t finish what hasn’t started
oh my love we need you here
