I don't know if right now you've given into those pressures you always complained about, I hope not. Have you started shaping ur brows and wearing make-up? I'm asking this because it once irritated you. Do you still write? I hope you do, it's what keeps you sane. How's your love life doing, do you even have one? Have you had sex yet? Do you still love sad songs? I wonder!
I know I'm asking so many questions, but do you have answers? Do you still have those nightmares that kept you awake? Do you still spend countless hours in front of a mirror because you felt you weren't beautiful enough? What of that accident you had, did it change you as much as I thought it would?
As a teenager, you were so reserved, has that changed? Have you experienced the heartbreak you've always dreaded?
I wish I could be with you right now, living side by side and watching you make your mistakes, but that's as impossible as snow in Nigeria right now.
How's Charles? Tell him I miss those days with him, but I had to grow up. Do you two still talk?
It's funny how I was so scared I wouldn't live past 16, but I did, we did! I'm glad.
Never forget what you always used to say, 'I won't stop living, till I'm done breathing'.
Standing where you left me years ago, I'm so glad you grew up.Although sometimes, I miss being the one existing. Do me proud, do us proud!
hmmm...!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you can "Stand outside your body" and criticize your existence... Constructively tho... Good one... Very Good
