Characters
You confuse me
You twist and evade my memory
But I know you
You've existed in my memory for two years
you're so hard to define
Where are you, Daisy?
Where'd you go?
I know Andrew almost too well and yet
You're so much like me
I'm your narrator
you're my escape
So where'd you go?
Asi, where'd you go?
Why are your blue eyes and red hair all I'd ever wanted to be?
I'll write you until I find you.
Innocent under the tree
Running from your abusive dad and obsessive mother
Court scandals in the palm of your hand
No wonder Andrew fell for you
You never took sh*t from all of them
You knew how to be reckless and romantic and broken and innocent and reserved and
human
you were a beautiful story
a beautiful person
You're the parts of me most don't see
Does that make me beautiful too?
Am I really you? Just the version no one notices?
Is Andrew just the part of me they see?
The part that's easier to write?
I'm the author and yet you're both the most beautiful part of me.
You all are.
You always have been.
You and Andy and Tony and Dewy and Ashley and Ginn and Cece and Dexter and Roge and Stella and Sylvia and Charlie and Shadow and Mouse and Thunder and Voice.
You are mine.
You are me.
My writing, my characters, my friends.
And maybe one day
One day
I'll be out there for all the world to see
Published
finally
and then they'll see all of you
all of me.
I love you all.
They'll love you, I just know it.
I guess to be a writer is to fracture yourself
to showcase little bits of your soul in the hope that others will understand.
Asi, I'll find you.
I'll write you when I do.
