a story
Five years ago makes me feel like a little girl with a dumb crush. you don’t wanna run away? I like hitch hiking and that he wishes he didn’t marry her. They do; I don’t even know, but i have school i gotta do, and, we, got connected. Ya, now I’m boring; then, we talked from 3pm until 4 am. um, i don’t know you either. okay. well, just people i knew before, and we got connected. ok? his wife is beautiful. you?
I almost went on a band tour once. I don’t know you either. ill run to you. I fell in love with someone on here, n theres nothing to do. yeah people like that are cool. no? he got married two summers ago. dumb. omegle, i use to talk to people n tell them my stories n stuff, and we got connected.
