The next day it's time for me to go, without saying goodbye. He catches sight of me and looks the other way, but it's all the better. Step into another world, the real one, and I'm at a magnificent party by the sea. I wish I could remember everything, but it's been so many nights and my memory is waning with the phases of the moon. Minutes are years, there. Splash, splash, you've gotten fairy dust on my new dress! Yes, we must save it, but it's just so beautiful here. The water is a magic water, and it'll wash all your fears and qualities and memories away, until your left with a mermaid-creature, and everyone likes mermaids. I whisper, We must make up a rhyme so we never forget. Peter wouldn't like that, but the other one would. Maybe he hasn't forgotten yet! I don't know about S, it's been too long for reconnaissance and besides, talk of war is frowned upon here. I hate letters and liars.I'd never ever leave if this were Neverland, but this, this changes everything. Ignore the aching feeling in your heart that something is wrong here, something fantastic is missing from this fantasy. My greatest fear is that one day we will all look back and not remember.

This is really beautiful. I love the part about fairy dust on the dress. That is such a thrilling idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm terribly sorry if your heart is heavy with sorrow and disappointment.
Sometimes I think I become too immersed in things that have never happened. I remain too passive of the things that are happening now, and that's what makes me so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteThank you. xxxx
Darling girl, thank you for all of your sweet comments on my blog all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou're a gem, and I could not ask for a sweeter person to read my words, I truly could not.
You are such a poet, such a star, such a person my heart is so full, full, full from the emotions you made me feel right now.
Bless you, love.
Yours,
Norah of Lets Run Away xx
Thank you, Norah, but I fear you see much more in me than what's really there. You are wonderful, bless your heart. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd go to Neverland now, if I could. I guess the whole idea got a little bit too scary. Sad, really.
ReplyDeleteThis post is beautiful.
