꧁~The Act (3)~(Part XXXVII)꧂

As I opened the door of the Jeep, Ethan was already putting his seatbelt on.

I lifted myself up and into the vehicle, now sitting opposite of him.

Bringing the strap around my body, I clicked it into the holder.

When I was situated, my chest slowly fell as my eyes closed. My left foot was restless, tapping the floor with an off-beat rhythm.

Sitting in a silent ponder, the memories of that car ride with Drew kept filling my mind.

I remembered how he acted.

My stomach churned with a new type of sickness.

"What's your address?"

I fought back my inner pains and turned to the boy.

After answering his question, I looked over at the radio.

With the turn of the knob, the station changed.

And then...

The lyrics poured into my ears.

♫ Well, you only need the light when it's burnin' low ♫

Not this song...

♫ Only miss the sun when it starts to snow ♫

♫ Only know you love her when you let her go ♫

This was one of the many songs I listened to when we tore apart, one of the songs I put on repeat after the split.

♫ Only know you've been high when you feelin' low ♫

♫ Only hate the road when you missin'
home ♫

♫ Only know you love her when you let her go ♫

These lyrics never failed to bring back the pain that use to harass my every spare thought.

♫ And you let her go... ♫

I remembered the conflicting feelings I would constantly have on those lonely nights. I remembered the hurt.

♫ Staring at the bottom of your glass ♫

♫ Hoping one day you'll make a dream last♫

♫ But dreams come slow, and they go so
fast ♫

The ones where I asked myself if I still loved him.

♫ You see her when you close your eyes ♫

♫ Maybe one day, you'll understand why ♫

♫ Everything you touch surely dies ♫

The weight in my chest was so hard to bear.

♫ But you only need the light when it's burning low ♫

♫ Only miss the sun when it starts to snow ♫

♫ Only know you love her when you let her go ♫

I slumped over on the car door, staring out the window.

♫ Only know you've been high when you're feeling low ♫

♫ Only hate the road when you're missing home ♫

♫ Only know you love her when you let her go ♫
