I just let you slip away…
-Lost Prophets=4. a.m. Forever

Zsiul was my worst enemy within three weeks for no obvious reason. We just simply hated each other. The beef was strong and it was present everywhere we went. On the football field, as team-mates for our class team, we would simply not pass [...]
