Dear, Wren

Something about the way you always ostracized me, sometimes it wasn't intentional but other times you did it on purpose.

Like when we were hanging out with Ben and Joe, you always shoved me away. At first I thought you liked them more than me but then I realized it's just how you are, I'm like that too.

But when you ostracized me, it hurt so bad that I would leave you alone with our friends and cry in our bed for hours until you came back home. You'd force me to get up and lay in your arms while you lulled me to sleep, apologizing for your neglect.

It was weird how I always forgave you immediately, I guess I just loved you.

Sometimes I wondered why you ostracized me but then I learnt about all your problems. I guess we all have our flaws right?

I remember one time I ostracized you, I didn't even realize you left early until I got home and saw you carving at the walls with a bread knife - you scared me sometimes.

When you turned to face me you broke down crying and ran into my arms. You said.

"The voices, the voices said you were gonna leave! Please, tell me it isn't true"

I assured you it wasn't, I scooped you up in my arms and carried you to bed. Lulling you to sleep, apologizing for my neglect.

Love, Wilbur
