Reminders

Jimmy

1. Close, but not quite right. That's what we were. That's who you are.

Tommy

2. You started to paint your heart on my sleeve.

I am still waiting for you to come back to finish it.

Delane

3. I was lucky because I knew who I was to you, and you, to me.

Maranny

4. I am sorry I could not make this more beautiful for you, and you deserve so much more than the words trailing your name on this page.

Anita

5. You saw the world before it saw you. It's such a shame that you are so disillusioned by your brokenness. People like you will change the world.

Dayanira, Nayeli, & Benjamin

6, 7, & 8. I was never a question to you. Your unwavering loyalty to the person you created for me could not have made me any happier, or any sadder.

Jay

9. You heard whispers in the dark and you followed them.

I wish you hadn't.

Stacy (again)

I. The way I write about you, you would have thought that we were lovers.

But we're not.

You just broke me,

and broke the friendship I had fallen in love with.

And I'm not proud of it, but somedays I think to myself and

hope that you will fall in love with a beautiful fool

Because

Maybe then karma will teach you true cruelty.
