“Let's go all
The way tonight.
No regrets, just love.
We can dance, until we die,
You and I,
We'll be young forever.You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream.
The way you turn me on,
I can't sleep.
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back.”

“He was waiting for me to say something. He was staring at me. This, I think, is the first time I dared myself to stare back at him. Usually, I'd cast a glance and then look away—look away because I didn't want to swim in the lovely, clear pool of his eyes unless I'd been invited to—and I never waited long enough to know whether I was even wanted there; look away because I was too scared to stare anyone back; look away because I didn't want to give anything away; look away because I couldn't acknowledge how much he mattered. Look away because that steely gaze of his always reminded me of how tall he stood and how far below him ranked.”
