Lydia continued to live in denial that her relationship with Alan was over. In February, she began to rethink things. She decided the relationship wasn't going anywhere. She wanted to break up with him without hurting him, so she turned to a friend for advice. Lydia said, "Catherine, I'm thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend. We haven't seen each other since Valentine's día last year, and we haven't spoken since at least the summer. I feel like the relationship isn't going anywhere, but we had some good times together." Catherine said, "Lydia, it doesn't make sense that tu call this guy your boyfriend when tu haven't seen each other in nearly a año and haven't spoken in so long. It seems to me that you've already broken up. Does he live far away?" Lydia said, "He doesn't live far away. He lives in a neighboring town. My mother says I might as well assume it's over, because he's done with me." Catherine said, "Maybe he assumes it's over. He may be seeing someone else." Lydia said, "I think he's become a recluse. His mother says he never wants to go anywhere." Catherine said, "Don't tie yourself down to a recluse. tu told me that tu get bored staying at home." Lydia brushed it off por pretending it wasn't a big deal. Finally, she broke down after refusing to let herself be sad. She came crying to Rebecca. Rebecca asked, "Are tu okay? What's wrong, my friend?" Lydia said, "I'm not okay. I'm feeling lonely." Rebecca said, "I know how tu feel. Would tu like for me to cheer tu up?" Lydia said, "I could use some cheering up." Rebecca sent a link to a funny video. This made Lydia laugh. Marie told Lydia, "I don't understand why anyone would want to hurt tu like that." Catherine said, "I can understand why you're not willing to amor again. That's the main reason I'm not romantic." Gavin said, "I'd like to find that bastard and tell him off for hurting you, love." Pattie was deeply concerned. She hoped that Lydia would be okay. Pattie told Lydia, "I wish I could do something to make tu feel better." Lydia said, "Pattie, all tu have to do is keep talking to me." Later, Pattie told Lydia, "I'm glad your corazón isn't gone. I wish I could tell tu it won't be broken forever." Lydia said, "I don't think it will be. I'm actually starting to feel better." Pattie said, "That's great! I was hoping tu would feel better for a long time." One day, Lydia told Pattie, "It's hard not to be all right when you're talking to your best friend." Pattie said, "That's sweet of you." Lydia said, "It's the truth. You're my best friend." Pattie said, "And you're mine."

A part of me died,
The día tu left the world.
tu had a cold nose,
And a very warm heart.
tu were the best gift,
That anyone could receive.
I loved tu más than anything,
And tu loved me just the same.
tu didn't mind, even though tu knew,
That I was the fool on the hill.
We used to sit under the shade,
Of the mighty maple.
Now I find myself sitting alone.
I hear the lonely cries,
Of the Mourning Dove.
tu and I, we used to hear the song,
The Tufted Titmouse sang about drinking tea.
I still hear that song, do tu still hear it?
Thunderstorms don't have the same appeal,
Without tu ringing the doorbell.
tu were afraid of thunderstorms.
Tell me, are tu still afraid?
Farewell, Birthday Gift maní, cacahuete Butter,
Until we meet again.
To the best dog in the world and my best friend

Peanut Butter as a puppy
Hello, my old friend. How are tu today? Are tu okay? Oh, why am I talking to you? tu cannot hear a word I say. Whether I tell tu to sit o stay, tu can no longer obey. tu sleep the día away. tu don't play fetch anymore. Who cares? I didn't enjoy it anyway. All right, okay, I did enjoy it. I miss those days when tu wanted to play. I miss the days when tu could hear me. Yet I still talk to you. I'd like to believe, with all my heart, I'd like to believe you're still listening. I'd like to believe tu can feel me. tu may be gray in the muzzle, and tu walk with a limp, and you're half blind, but tu still care. I know, I know, and I know that tu still amor me. Do tu know I still amor you?
I dreamed a dream most pleasant,
One that surpasses all dreams.
I saw someone wonderful,
So charming and so sweet.
He stood tall and firm,
Yet his complexion was so gentle.
He spoke in a deep, low voice,
One that was soothing and gentle.
His hair was dark, and it had a red cast,
That was visible when he stood in the sun.
His eyes were a bright green,
So friendly and so cheerful.
Before I could say a word,
I swooned from the excitement.
When I awoke, I was in my bed.
It was all a dream, I concluded,
And maybe I'm meant to be alone.
One that surpasses all dreams.

Bingo
I'm on the outside,
Looking in, to a world,
I don't truly understand.
Am I in the right era?
Am I with the right crowd?
It seems they're on the inside,
Looking out, at the me,
They don't truly understand.
They are in there,
Mocking me, because I'm different.
I'm out there,
Reaching out to those on the outside,
Looking in.
It let's me know I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one on the outside,
Looking in.

People say John was a dreamer,
But I assure tu of this;
He was not the only one.
I am a dreamer, too.
He was clear when he told us,
"Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace."
Why aren't people listening?
People want a war so badly,
They can't stand it!
Didn't John tell us,
"Give peace a chance"?
I think his message was clear.
I think he'd be baffled,
If he saw what was going on.
John, I want tu to know,
I'm still listening.
Who is with me?
But I assure tu of this;
He was not the only one.

Weeds are flowers, too.
Just give them a chance.
They may look unsightly,
But they're amazing once they blossom.
They're often judged por their looks,
But take them seriously.
They're great once tu know them.
I know I'm not a daisy,
A tulip, o a rose.
I may not be attractive,
But I'm pretty nice.
Don't judge what tu don't know.
Yes, weeds are flowers, too.
Get to know them.
I guarantee tu won't regret it.

She was once someone I know.
She is now someone I knew.
I told her all of my secrets.
She never told a soul.
She never ran out of things to say,
To make me feel better.
She was the estrella of the sea,
But her ship sailed away.
The waves pushed me back.
Now, I find, I'm all alone.
This great person I knew,
Was a good friend.
It's a shame this had to end.
I miss her greatly,
But pining over her,
Won't change anything at all.
I have to mover on.
It's time to let go.
I will never forget what we had.
I finally accepted that it wasn't meant to be.

Who are tu to tell me,
That I'm not so pretty?
Malicious Mirror, tu weren't my friend.
tu were my worst enemy!
tu told me I was ugly,
And I couldn't make friends.
But I stayed strong,
And proved tu wrong!
I'll now direct it to you,
Oh, Christians, I verily say,
Who are tu to tell me,
What I should be?!
tu told me to be prejudiced.
I was blind to your ways,
But now I see,
tu tried to force a false identity.
What were tu trying to do,
When tu told me to believe,
Your lies? tu dicho my grandfather,
Whom I loved dearly, is in Hell,
And I know that he is well.
He's behind that pearly gate,
And I know that is his fate.
Christians, tu betrayed my trust,
Only to cause a thirst for lust.

When tu told me you'd visit me,
tu lied! Oh, how could this be?
Alas! perrito, cachorro amor tragically died.
I felt, as if, I'd fallen, into the dirt.
This lost love, left me badly hurt.
But I am all right.
I'm very much alive.
I'll take this scarred heart,
Let it heal, and keep it, from falling apart.
They say it's better to have loved and lost,
But, I think, I would have been better off,
To have never loved at all.
To amor again, I never will.
It isn't worth, the pain that tu feel.
amor is for someone, who isn't me.
I think it's best to let it be.
I am just fine, with the company of friends.
Not with lovers, that's how it is.
