“I’d rather be miserable loving you than happy with anyone else.”
Angela Morrison, Sing Me to Sleep

“I know your soul. It’s there in every note”. He brushes my lips with his. “You can’t fake that. You can’t hide it”
Angela Morrison, Sing Me to Sleep

“Your heart .That’s all I want. That’s the best thing you can give me”
You stole that that before we even met”
I don’t want to be a thief. I want you to give it”
His arms tighten around me, and his mouth presses on mine again.
It’s yours Beth”. His words flow into my soul and twist me into knots.
You know it’s yours”
Angela Morrison, Sing Me to Sleep
