I can't belCieve I was worried about hurting you, I should have Fkicked it 
with your cousin when i had the opportunity. GI was at some party and she 
said she had to talk to me, Fand then she didn't say anything. 
I can't beClieve I worried about hurting you, while you were bFanging around 
the bars trying to scratch up something new. GYou left me fifty bucks and 
nothing much to do, but tFhink about getting back at you.
I Cheard that you've been back around the neighborhood, you might be stFill 
strung out but you still look pretty good. I heard that Gkid from california 
turned out to be an asshole, ha, FI think I could have told you. 
You lCeft with burning bridges but you never saw the beach, you had sFtars in 
your eyes but Modesto's not that sweet. GWhen you only know one guy and he 
dFisappears for days at time.
I can't belCieve I was worried about hurting you, I should have Fkicked it 
with your cousin when i had the opportunity. GI was at some party and she 
said she had to talk to me, Fand then she didn't say anything.
