Long time Quote by Lauren Slater

“And I have the same heart in the same socket of chest, and it hammers the way it used to, and I find myself thinking the same words, Safe again, trapped again. My pals sweat on the steering wheel. I remind myself: I am not that girl. I’ve changed. I’ve grown. It’s a long time ago.” quote by Lauren Slater — Download Open image
