“It’s plain to see I’m cold and heartsick

Since you turned and walked away”

It had been a couple of months since everything happened and still she didn’t understand. They had their problems, yes, but like every other couple that tried to build a relationship.

At least she thought they were trying to work things out.

“I just keep going round and round

And round in circles

Keep on tumbling down”

She had cried so many times over her, that the simple mention of her name or thought of it, made her want to cry all over again.

“Oh boy my world has changed

And I don’t think I can make it without you

Nothing’s the same

You got me running around

In circles over you

(Running around in circles over you)”

One morning, she woke up without Dana beside her on the bed; all her clothes and things were gone from her apartment too. Not that they were a whole lot anyway.

The only thing left as explanation was a note, on Dana’s handwriting.

“I’m sorry. Goodbye, D.” Were the words on the note, nothing else.

So shocked, she didn’t react one way or the other. The day passed on a haze, trying to catch Dana on the phone. But there wasn’t an answer. Not that day or the next, or the next after that one. Two months after and still she didn’t have and answer, just glimpses here and there from their friends. Who didn’t know much of anything, as things between Alice and Dana had been unstable for awhile, and weren’t sure how to react.

“Saturday I saw you

Holding hands with someone new

Somehow I kept my composure

Just like everything was cool”

Since that turning point in her life, she hadn’t seen Dana, not even once.

Walking down the street to the Planet, out the corner of her eye something caught her attention. In front the Planet’s door was Dana, walking through it, hand in hand with someone else.

Lara.

They were laughing without a worry in the world. Happy, almost like they were in love.

“But inside I kept repeating

Don’t you let them see you cry
