Summary: Second Season, Post Prom. Liz's musings on how easily Max and Tess got together.
You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath the city lights
There, walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
But I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life
God, they're right there. Right in front of the Crashdown. Like they want me to see them or something. Like they know that a little piece of me dies every time he kisses her. Every time he touches her. Does he even care? It's doubtful. You only have to look at them to know that it was meant to be. They were destined. Who am I to mess with destiny? Intelectually, I know that I did the right thing...but I never knew that it would hurt this bad!
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Dont you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe thats just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
I can still remember what it felt like to be Max Evans' world. To be cherished. I never dreamed that those same hazel eyes, eyes that were so filled with love and adoration, could turn on me and fill with disgust so quickly.
You, I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
Time, is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
To letting go, letting go like you did
How does he do it? How in the world can he act like what was once so powerful, so all-consuming, meant nothing? And how on earth am I supposed to do the same? I'm not a strong enough person to handle this. Everything is starting to take it's toll. My heart is literally breaking, and yet...I can't stop staring.

It's not healthy. I'm hurting no one but myself by doing this. Yet, I almost welcome the pain. At least I can feel something. If I can feel this huge emptiness inside me, then i know I'm not dead yet. No matter how hellish my surroundings may seem.
Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion, oh
And did you ever miss me?
And long to kiss me
"I'm glowing everywhere...my toes, my heart. You can't see it. It's on the inside." I can still hear his voice. Still feel the shiver of excitement that ran up my spine when he said it. Did those words mean anything to him? Does he even remember saying them? Why can't I let this go?!
Oh baby, baby
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
I'll get along. The pain will dull over time. I have to believe that. Watching the two of them kiss again, I come to the relization that I have to do this. I have to let it go. I'll go back to school tomarrow, and block everything out. Like we never loved at all.
A/N: What did y'all think? Any good? 'Cause I'm not too sure...
