Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps Quotes

I want to get all fucked up and write real and raw and ugly and beautifully.

I'll stay here one day and I will never come down. I promise I can fly before I hit the ground. It doesn't even hurt anymore. I swear, it doesn't hurt.”
