T,
I'm crying and shaking and I have insomnia because there are no sirens and bright lights to lull me to sleep...

L,
You'll never realize how lucky you are or that the duller the stars look, the brighter a place shines...

TJ,
Chocolate is sweeter and the sky is bluer when you are around but you have to realize that we're growing up and the city is my only true love...

O,
I was too young and too stupid when we met to appreciate what we had, but the city will always remember...

M,
Someday we will run away from here and hide in Brooklyn, and we will scream our secrets off of rooftops. Our day will come.


XX, Marina
