Shane's POV

    "Come as you are, as you were,

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.

Take your time, hurry up

The choice is yours, don't be late.

Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria

Memoria"

    Cheyenne sings it so sadly to me. How can she think calling me back to the ice cream parlor and singing would make me change my mind about 'us'? I mean, I love her, but she herself claimed we all needed space.

"Come as you are, as you were,

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.

Take your time, hurry up

The choice is yours, don't be late.

Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria

Memoria

Come as you are, as you were,

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.

Take your time, hurry up

The choice is yours, don't be late.

Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria

Memoria"

    She clutches my hands, singing Nivana's song, Come as You are. I feel so guilty . . .

"Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

MemoriaCome dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

MemoriaCome dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

Memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

And I swear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

Memoria

Memoria - and I don't have a gun

    "Beauty queen of only eighteen

She had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her

She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door

I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along, yeah

My heart is full and my door's always open

You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car

Know all of the things that make you who you are

I know that goodbye means nothing at all

Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day

Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved"

    I sing Maroon 5's song, She Will be Loved. I feel so bad. How do I make this girl understand that I once loved, but I don't know anymore. How do I make her feel what I feel without destroyinh her?!

    "Yeah, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don't try so hard to say goodby."

    I give her a moment to allow my words to sink in before explaining. "I can't this."

    "What do you mean, Shane?" Cheyenne asks me, her pink bottom lip quivering ever so softly. "What do you mean? What can't you do?"
