This Greaser Is Gold

Goodbye

Later that night, I couldn't go to sleep thinking of my whole new life tomorrow.

Cherry has already left, and I bet she's having the time of her life right now.

I rolled my eyes at the thought of what her and her boyfriend is doing.

I grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil that was beside my drawer and turned on the night light.

I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know what to say so I just wrote this:

"Dear Pony,

I know it was you...

The letters, the pictures, the secret admirer was you.

Soda told me and don't be mad at him I'm glad he did because I didn't know you felt that way.

I smiled when he told me because I thought it was sweet of you.

You don't know how amazing you are to me but that's ok.

I'm leaving tomorrow and it shouldn't matter what I think of you especially now that your Olivia.

I'm so happy for you.

I know I won't always be there for you anymore and I'm sorry.

I'm having a family crisis at the moment, and we have to leave...

Again, I'm sorry if you don't understand, frankly I'm not so sure what's happening either...

I just want you to be happy.

But I guess it's time for me to move on and don't worry I'll try.

I just wanted to let you know that I liked you from the start.

The first day of school when you were asked to read from the viewpoint of a hunter.

You looked at your piece of paper and said, 'So, I called the dogs back and put down my gun and let them go.

My neighbor's slaves, my neighbors property I wondered why I didn't try and stop him it wasn't right.

It wasn't neighborly but I did feel better when I saw they would make it to freedom.

A funny thing how doing something so wrong can make you feel so good.

I wondered like it's all Colonel Kincaid when he came by looking for his property.

I was hoping to where I could see the truth someday I'll be brave enough to speak it.'

From then on, your words really spoke to me.

It was beautiful.

The truth is always hard to say and sometimes even I'm afraid to say it.

Don't get me wrong you seem happy with Olivia and I'm happy for you.

So, if you do read this letter and you feel something towards me shut it down.
