Your Life Must Now Run The Course

If You Were A Boy And A Girl And You Were In Love With Each Other, Really, Properly In Love, And If You Could Show It, Then The People Who Run Hailsham, They Sorted It Out For You. They Sorted It Out So You Could Have A Few Years Together Before You Began Your Donations.

I Can't Even Say I Made My Own Mistakes. Really - One Has To Ask Oneself - What Dignity Is There In That?
