Mascara applied, lipstick dabbed, hair styled the exact way I wanted it to be. Dress on with the heels to match. They'll kill later but I don't care, it's the Leaver's Ball, the final social event in the school calendar that we would ever be taking part in. In four short months we'll be at university or college or in jobs. We're officially adults, on a first name basis with our teachers but after seven years if calling them "sir" and "miss" it feels wrong.

Summer We'd spend our summers down by the river, Ice cream or barbecue the most we'd have to consider. Our seven day summer never seems to last, I wish I could live in that past. Exams are done, University places won. Sleep until noon and Stay up until dawn, These days are soon over please take war. Sandy toes, Soaking wet clothes. Best of times, Award winning smiles.

I Love You. I Hate You. I love you. I hate you. I can't stand to look at you. All I look for is you. I should just leave you. I can't live without you. Half the time I fight you. The other half I make up with you. I love you. I hate you. I can't stand to be without you.

Runaway. That's all I can take, Out of this nightmare I must shake, Out of this nightmare let me wake, Now there is so much at stake. When I first left I didn't know what to say, Never been on my own that way, Strange that its quiet all day, That you never find me I pray. I don't want to hide my face, In hope you won't find this place, I'm somebody you can replace, You are an utter disgrace.

You And Me. I have a problem with standing still, No matter how much I do will, Running has always been such a thrill, A way of showing my free will. You like to stay where you are, Rarely even using the car, You never went too far, Sticking to home and the bar.
