“But how do you get someone out of your system when she’s woven into it? We were fifteen when I first saw her and she never once left my head since. No matter how far our roads strayed from each other, how many distractions I found, she was always there, comfortably taking up more and more space. How do you get away from that? The answer is ... you don’t. You simply don’t. You let her destroy you in any way she wants as long as you get even a minute of her.”
