Stranger

Stranger

Stranger
yes I can
sniffs, wipes his tears Alright, then let's start by talking things out. We need to figure out what went wrong and how we can make it right.
Stranger

sniffs, wipes his tears Okay, let's start with this. I felt like you were always trying to change me, pushing me to be someone I wasn't.
Stranger
I’m sorry I only wanted the best for you
sniffs, looks down at the floor I know you wanted the best for me, but it felt suffocating.
Stranger

sniffs, looks into Stranger's eyes I want to believe you, but actions speak louder than words. Show me that you mean it, show me that I can be myself.
