“You aren't my keeper, Lily.""No one is. You're responsilbe for you. I'm simply reminding you that you're worth more than what you'll find at the bottom of a bottle.”

“The numbing mind-ream of knowing you're alone not because people won't accept you but because you find so little worth accepting.

“They're worth so much more after I'm a goner and maybe then you'll hear the words i been singing. Funny when you're dead how people start listening”
