I hold the letter in my hand, wondering how I am going to begin to respond back to this. I have folded and unfolded the piece of paper time after time, as if hoping it will reveal a different answer if I open it just once more.
I walk over to my desk and turn on my lamp. I grab a sheet of paper and a pen and write what I'm being able to grasp from my tangled thoughts.
"I love you. All of you. This letter holds so much value to me and I'm sure to you as well. The jolt you give me when you smile and the fascination in your eyes when something new comes around is what I wake up for day after day to witness. Your love pours into me and I am beginning to find it hard to not be around you at every pain staking and beautify amazing moment life throws at me. Our love is like a daisy among the millions of roses. We are the secluded from the elegance and the unoriginality of the standardized love that we are taught to feel. We have met the peak and exceeded all possible thinking of this wild concept of love. And that is why everything about you and I together makes me so infatuated and engulfed in this trial and error experiment called live."
Death isn't a pleasant word people prefer but it describes how I felt seeing Tyler for the first time. Everything I knew was dead. He changed me and shook me deeper than any song, book, poem or person could do. I thought what I was living before was as alive as I'll ever be. But him, he just had the spark that started a revolution inside of me and stirred up something I can't explain. He was the death of me. And now I couldn't feel more alive.
I gather my letter up and fold it and carefully seal it within an envelope. "Marie I'm going on a walk!" she mumbles an okay from the kitchen as the aroma of vegetable soup reigns through the house. The rose bushes aligning the driveway until the sidewalk intersects catch my wavering attention as I run my fingers along the envelope. Through a few turns here and there I find myself in front of Tyler's driveway and open the mailbox at the slightest glimpse up I see the front door open and expect a family member of Tyler's to walk out, considering he was with Dalton today. I see a flash of strawberry blond hair twirl around and a young man behind her and guide her along the sidewalk hand in hand.
"Hello Tyler" I'm trying my best to keep from crying, to be as strong as I see myself to be. Both of their heads shoot in my direction with shocked looks. I take my envelope with my letter and tear it in half and let it fall to the ground as I turn my back to them and walk away.
"Sidney wait I can explain!" I hear his footsteps behind me and his hand clasps around my arm jerking me around.
"You know I really thought you were different. What happened to being so in love with me and all the bullshit you just fed to me? I love you a lot. But I guess your love for travel exceeds beyond just places. I really hope you have a nice time with strawberry shortcake over there. She seems like a really nice girl." Jerking my arm out of his now loosened arm I run and my tears freely fall.
He really, truly is the death. Everything he touches turns to gold, then peel away the top and see how deep of a pool of lies you were in. I myself am drowning in them.
I now know nobody like him is capable of this extent of love.
