Chasing Independence

We had no money, we hadn't bathed in weeks. We drank stale water and smoked Kool's cigarettes. We didn't believe in Romeo and Juliet. We didn't believe in television. He was my God and I was his Goddess.

Adi and Lorelai, the couple who didn't understand reality and refused to start.

A song Alissa wrote after she read the first chapter, named after the story. That sappy girl her! :

We weren't normal when we first met,
and we built on that, look where we're at.
There's nothing out there but wind and rain,
yet we're laughing.
It's like falling inside my best dreams,
by your side.
No one can touch us,
we're making history.

We're chasing independence,
running through the rain.
Nothing else matters,
but winning in the end.
Just stay by me.
It's not that you're in my life,
it's that you're me.

I thought that I was just fine,
and then you came and opened my eyes.
Nothing can change how we feel right now,
lying under the stars.
No matter how far we run,
I won't leave your side.
You're my light in the dark,
the sun in the sky.

We're chasing independence,
running through the rain.
Nothing else matters,
but winning in the end.
Just stay by me.
It's not that you're in my life,
it's that you're me.

I can't live without you,
my world is all of you.
We'll run from everything that holds us down,
nothing else matters now.

We're chasing independence,
running through the rain.
Nothing else matters,
but winning in the end.
Just stay by me.
It's not that you're in my life,
it's that you're me.

It's that you're me.
It's that you're me.

It's that you're me,
and we're chasing independence.
