The moment she looked at me and didn't stare right through me was the best day of my life... moreIt all seemed so simple back then.

That was when I started believing that, maybe dreams do come true.Only problem is, when you're on cloud nine and living it up, it's a hella long way to fall.I've been told that to have my dreams, I'd have to sell my soul. I just never realized that it would cost me everything I had, to have everything I ever wanted. less
