CHAPTER:us
Why is The thought of leaving somewhere without disappearing forever remains strong. Just like to let you know that I'm still here in a mess, Squealing with a cold face without a hint.
It gives rise to the illusion that it is bearable enough but unbearable, and gives a threat of suicide not as hard as dying.
After passing through a strong love, I regret the moment that I was not honest, fallen down, feeling relieved, and I repeat regret all the time. Words spoken out differently from the heart always resonate with me when they are right. I keep holding on to the moment that I can't get back in my hands, saying
"I should have done this, but I
should have done that, and I can't take it back." On a countless number of cases. I imagine all the numbers that could have caused a different situation than now, and I imagine the person's changed expression like a thief. Why does regret follow the end of parting like a dream.
Why is it that the two are not pronounced the same and have a common synonyms!!!
Ps: I remember US
