but it shouldn't ruin my whole day.

ic.

[witlessbay]

ic.

[iyla]

ic.

[witlessbay]

that's pretty full on.

[iyla]

[witlessbay]

ic.

[iyla]

i know. i just don't like feeling like this.

ic.

[witlessbay]

can you do something for you tonight?

ic.

[iyla]

i'm not going to tell you where that sentence made my head go. you're welcome.

ic.

[witlessbay]

what?

ic.

[iyla]

don't worry about it. i'll try to, though.

ic.

[witlessbay]
