It's 4 in the morning // you know where I'll be..

Sometimes I sit there and think about all the different ways things could have gone wrong. Even from the beginning, before I had even talked to you again. I almost decided not to go to Jillian’s that night. I don’t know what made me go. You could have gone to the party. We could never have happened. I could possibly have never spent time writing this. And yet, I went, you stayed home, we have and I am. Maybe somebody, somewhere knew what was going to happen. While we’re on this trip down memory lane, back when we were 5 no one would ever have believed that we’d be going out or that I’d even know you now. A year ago we were kids, young and blatantly naive to everything. Everyone thought we were a passing phase, that in a week or so we'd be done. Try 52 weeks. 365 days. 8,760 hours and still counting. That's a long time.

New Year’s Eve 2002 has changed my life forever. A lot can happen in a year. We’re proof. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens. All of those have shaped what we are now. Where do we go from here? Only you and I can decide that. I'm betting on it being a while.
