Last December I drove 13 hours to spend 2 days in Atlanta with no intent to stay any longer If you had asked, I had to “fix some issues back home” there was nothing wrong there. Two days earlier I had signed my summer away I didn’t tell anyone New York had called. Guilt overwhelmed me I had betrayed my love Nobody requested my return and although they were happy to see me they told me I shouldn’t have -but it meant a lot to them- that’s not why I went back It was only for mental health As I veil my own personal insecurities and suffering behind a selfless and insignificant gesture intending to bring nothing back with me I feel that Orpheus would have done the same
