If I could go back.
If I could go back in time, I’d definitely go back to feel them feelings twice again,Only to remind my previous self that it’ll eventually go away leaving no less pain for me to feign. If I could back in time, I’d definitely go back to tell my best-friend them butterflies are nothing but a…
