I didn't feel guilty when I called
and told Elena I'm not taking her to the
winter formal.

But by then, it was
t o o  l a t e.

You know Artis, when I learned you're staying home,
I wanted to run there and sweep you in
my arms,
but I was scared
and all I did was

throw a pebble on your window
Because I didn't have enough courage to
knock your door
and take you to the
winter formal.
