It was better that way because sad stories don’t belong in…
““It was better that way because sad stories don’t belong in Neverland, only happy thoughts, pretty horses, and free moonshine, with not a cop to arrest us, and girls in pretty dresses who all gawk at love when they see it, and everyone give hugs that last for a century so then we can all truly live in the moment. In that moment, I chose not to cry.””
