-So that was it.
I was on my own, just me and my girl.
I had a little money left in my savings,
From all the checks my parents sent me when I was young.
See, my grandparents never used them,
They just put them in a savings account for me.
And I never touched it.
I guess because I always had a feeling,
Something like this would happen one day.
Anyway, we were happy,
Maybe a little scared.
We were kids out of high school.
Like we just really didn’t know what to do.
But, I got a job at a coffee shop.
Emily got a job at a pet shop.
We weren’t making good money, but we were surviving.
