Why do I Need Her&;#063;

If only I could think straight. The drink doesn't exactly help, but
even in French lessons it's just August ninth all over again, playing
over and over in my head. I can't concentrate. I can't think about
anyone else, and it hurts me to admit I kind of like it. I really would
elope to Canada with her...

But I almost wonder why.

If it was anyone else, would it be the same? Is it one definable
quality that makes her beam like a beacon through all this fog? If this
same thing had happened with any one of these people, would it have
been the same? If she'd never met me, would she have had James sooner,
or later, or not at all? Would he be her 'soul-mate'? Maybe that
would've been easier...

But I wouldn't swap that kiss for anything in the world.
