What I was thinking - Seeing Daisy again
Stepping into that house to see the love of my life once again, Daisy Buchanan, felt like a dream. She was perfect, a living piece of art. This was my chance to win here back, and bring back what once was. I could not comprehend the fact that she was actually here, in fact, it drove me crazy. I was an utter mess and could barely control myself. Did I look good? Was I presentable? Am I good enough? All these questions rushed through my head the second I met eyes with daisy that day. The same spark ignited as the first day I laid my eyes on her. When I heard she was here, I had to compose myself. But where the hell could I compose myself? Funny you ask, I just went outside in the pouring rain. I may had been drenched from head to toe from the rain, but hell if I didn't I might have gone mad. As I knocked on the door, another million thoughts ran through my mind, but I had done enough running. I was not sure if things would be the same as they were, but I could only hope. I knew that I could win over Daisy. After I made acquaintance with Daisy again, I felt as if I was a stone statue. Frozen in time, not knowing what to do or say. Every move I did felt as if it was the wrong move. Nick helped me keep my composure, thank god for the old sport. Knowing she was a married woman made me sick to my stomach, almost to the point of wrenching right there on the spot, in front of Daisy. After realizing that Daisy would soon be mine, I broke out of my stone exoskeleton and was the Jay Gatsby she once knew.

Dear Jay,
ReplyDeleteI felt the exact same way when the moment I laid my eyes on you after so many years. It was as if I was being transported back through time and we were meeting for the first time all over again. I felt like a nervous young girl all over again and I could almost imagine you standing there in your uniform. I tried for so long not think about us and the connection we shared, especially after I married Tom, but I think a part of me never fully let you go. I know neither of us want to talk about this, but we can’t pretend like I never got married. There was a point in my life where I did love Tom, even if he never treated me the way a man should treat his wife. We can’t repeat the past Jay, we can only live in the now. As of right now, I want to be with you.
With Love,
Daisy
