YOU'RE RIGHT
I'M WRONG.
WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.
THAT'S NOT TO SAY,

I GUESS REAL SOON,
I'LL REMEMBER
ALL THE STUPID THINGS I SAID.
I MEANT.
I MEAN WE'RE YOUNG
AND HELPLESS.
OF COURSE WE'LL STILL BE FRIENDS.
I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING

THAT RAINY DAY.
YOU SMILED

THOUSANDS AND HUNDREDS OF

AND I COULDN'T THINK
OF ANYTHING MORE PERFECT.
THAN YOUR FACE.

IT WASN'T ME.
I DIDN'T MAKE YOU,
WELL DID I?
IT FELT SO WARM.

I FELT SO PRECIOUS.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT YOUR MOTHER,
AND YOU SAID THAT I WAS SHAKING,
THEN WE GAZED AT ONE ANOTHER
AND I HAD TO FIX YOUR COLLAR
AND WIPE ICE-CREAM FROM YOUR MOUTH.

AND I NEARLY SAID,
I ALMOST NEARLY SAID ...
