Scripted;

him: i mean, i guess what i'm trying to ask is, where'd you go?

her: [squinting up at him (he always was too tall), averting her eyes] "why do you even care?

him: don't ask stupid questions you already know the answer to.

her: [deep breath/ flushed cheeks] it's silly now. i guess i fell in love with someone, and it so disastrously blew up in my face. so i panicked and i shrunk away from the everyone/ everything. i let my heart eat me alive, do you know how horrible that feeling is?

him: [staring right into her eyes] i know exactly what you mean.

Who am i, darling to you?

Promenades;

this is the kind of song i'd listen to strolling down some cobblestone on Hamra Street. Sunglasses, wild hair, summer dress; walk, walk, walk. headphones on, sun blazing. i stop to cross the street, narrowing down which cafe i'd like to sit in to get some writing done. maybe i won't write. read a book. i always get such funny stares when i read. people watching was always one of my favorite things to do; she has red lips/ he has eyes green as the night. can i go with you? found it. the perfect spot to whip out (classic) pen and paper. the words are flowing, their meaning? obscure, made up, idealistic.  i'll probably never see him again, he's gone back to the city. but it was nice to see him smile.
 i wanna go with you, i wanna go wherever/whenever you wanna go; can i go with you?

Out Of Sight;

 i can save us. or at least i thought i could. seems i'm actually quite incapable of holding on to anything but a grudge really. strange, every time i think i've got it right. strange, every time i'm so terribly wrong. happiness is such a hard concept to grasp for me. i've been in the dark for so long now, when i see the sun it blinds. gouges my eyes out like Oedipus; frightened frenzy. he can see now can't he? is that what it takes? a truth so magnanimous that it shatters your very core; mine was the day i woke up and realized he wouldn't love me the way i would never love any of them. cosmic comedy. there's still hope, but there probably isn't. tell me, what'd you think of my songs? but i am good, i am grounded. i always have to take a step back. back. back. keep going, you're almost there. moving in retrograde. he left her lonely with a diamond mind.
