This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

The awkwardness between them was nice, but unsettling. It was nice to Shane because she haden’t heard Carmen speak yet, fear that she would turn her away the way Shane had. Carmen still continued to look at the floor, but Shane had finally looked up at her, trying to catch her warm brown eyes that she had so many times fallin into, wishin never to stop. But it was unsettling because the continous knawing in her gut, the feeling like so many of her demons were coming back to haunt her. She diserved them, though, she thought. Opening her mouth to continue as more words began to form," Carmen, I’ll tell you right now. You’ve changed me. I mean, yeah, look the same pattern did happen that day. But, before that right now, I’m a changed person. I’m a better person because of you. You’ve taught me so many things, you’ve made me see so many things. You’ve taught how to love, you’ve taught me to forgive, and you’ve taught me to stay. I stayed there, with you, because how you made me feel. I know that I’m not perfect, Carmen, but you make me feel like it… just being near you, even right now, makes me feel like I’m the greatest person in the world. I feel so complete when your near, and when I’m not. I feel like I’m suffocating, because without you I can’t breath. I mean, yeah, I can breath. I’m doing at now, but to really breath relief and feel so safe. That’s how you make me feel, like nothing can touch. Not even death, I feel so invincible around you. You make me feel… happy."

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

Ever since Carmen had gotten off for break, a band had been playing in the background. Shane haden’t paid much attention to them at first, but their song they were singing right then struck a cord in her. It was such a perfect song to describe what was happening right then, it sort of made Shane feel odd. Like there was someone around them making what Shane said true, little things were being said, little signs being found. Shane hadn’t expected to fine Carmen here… but she did. Shane didn’t expect Carmen to come over, she thought that she hated her so much she didn’t even want to be two feet from her… but it wasn’t as much hate as Shane had figured. And then this song, keeping her attention on it and Carmen at the same time as she felt the knot dissapear, the wash of relief roll over her as she finally knew. It’s going to be alright, you’re going to be okay…
