Lafayette (Chase Fontenot - Lafayette, LA)

What's become of our generation? The same faces we see in the halls of high school, we recognize on the bathroom floor of the bar. It's true, that at times it seems, we all tear from the seams.

Get closer though i'll bet you can feel it in my touch. We may not always be together. But you will always be in my heart. i may take a while to say i love you. But at least you know it’s real when i do. You may think my heart is full, You might even think i love too many. They say your heart is as big as your fist. Look at my hands you know i have room for plenty
