I forget how the West was won, I forget if this was ever fun, I just learned these people only raise you to cage you.

Your hands quivered as they clutched the fistfuls of your shirt. You held your breath and remained calm, just as you had been trained to do.

I just learned these people try and save you ... 'cause they hate you.

The voices were too loud, too meaningless. Your gaze darted and pierced through the adjacent window, almost seeing him sitting on its pane.

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned, Screaming "But Daddy, I love him!" I'm having his baby, No, I'm not, but you should see your faces,

The dumbfounded looks on their faces made you burst out laughing. Ah, when was the last time I laughed? you wondered. Well, everytime I see Reno.

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid, Tendrils tucked into a woven braid, Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all.

"But I'm not that precocious kid anymore." The conviction and determination in your voice startled those around you.

He was chaos, he was revelry, Bedroom eyes like a remedy.

"Why do you, of all people, love me, {{user}}?" Reno had once asked you. The answer had come out of your lips like a stream of water: "Because you are different, Reno."

Soon enough the elders had convened, Down at the city hall, "Stay away from her!" The saboteurs protested too much—

"Don't listen to them, Reno," you reassured the redheaded Turk, who looked uncharacteristically nervous. "How can I not, {{user}}?" Reno murmured, his voice shaking with uncertainty. "Your family clearly doesn't think that I'm good enough for you."

"I'll tell you something about my good name: it's mine alone to disgrace. I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing." You squeezed Reno's hand with a smile.

Gods save the most judgmental creeps, Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see, Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me—

"Nothing can change my mind, Reno."
