Apologies
Dear Jay
I'm sorry
I left in
Such a hurry.
But I could
Not marry
Paul because
I do not
Love him.
Please tell
Him I'm
Sorry and
Mom and
Dad I love
Them.
I'm moving
To New York
City.
Until next time.
-Darcy
Different
I'm sorry
I haven't wrote
In a while.
I've been a
Little busy
Moving in
And finding
A job.
I'm sure you're
Mad at me
And mom and
Dad are worried
Sick.
But I'm okay.
-Darcy
3 Months
Three months
I've been on
My own.
I know the
Letter are
Still not as
Frequent as
Any of you
Would like
But I'm trying
To adjust.
It's different
Living in
A big city
Compared
To a small
Town.
I feel like
I'm in a
Sea of
Fish.
But it's
A nice
Change.
No I haven't
Made any friends
Yet, but I
And yes Paul
Did come
Visit me.
I told him
The truth.
He was not
Pleased but
He will come
To understand
In time.
Of course
I'll be safe
Brother.

California
How's life
Out on the
West coast
Brother?
Is it everything
You hoped?
You always did
Prefer the warm
Weather to
The cold weather.
Maybe one day
You'll give up
That for someone.
And I'm sure
You're laughing and
Shaking your
Head but
You never know.
Also you could
Have forewarned
Me about
Mom and dad
Coming to visit.
It was a
Nice little
Surprise
For me.
I'll keep
This in mind
Jay next time
You want
To know
If they're planning
A visit.
They didn't
Seem to
Like the city
Too much.
But they didn't
Act like it
Was horrible.
So it's something I guess.
-Darcy
New Faces
No I haven't
Met anyone
Since I moved
Here.
Yes I know
You think
I should
Get out and
Meet new
People.
I'm not like
You Jay.
I can't just
Make friends
Like that.
And of
Course you're
Rolling eyes
And scoffing.
Yeah I easily
Made friends
Back during
High school
But they were all
Superficial and
Shallow.
None of them
Would have
Stuck by my
Side if anything
Bad happened.
They were only
Ever concerned
About themselves.
-Darcy
Strangers
Since my
Last letter
Brother dearest
I've sort of
Met someone.
I don't know
If we're friends
Exactly.
I met her
Down at a
Pier one night
When I was
Out exploring.
It was last
Week when I
Found her
Ready to jump.
By then it
Had begun
Raining on us.
She looked so
Sad and
Alone.
Her name is
Joy.
And I think
I kept her
From committing
Suicide.
I hope I
See her again.
Here's to hoping I do.
-Darcy
Joy
Oh brother dearest
I did see
Joy again.
She came over
And offered to
Show me around
The city.
Apparently there's
So much I
Have not
Seen yet.
I noticed she's
A quiet person.
I'm curious
As to what
Made her
Go to the pier
That night.
But I don't
Her.
She's really
Pretty Jay.
Long brown hair
Green eyes.
Kinda on the
Short side.
Today was a fun day.
-Darcy
First Date
I'm surprised
You haven't
Already gotten
Someones phone
Number yet.
Keep yourself
Busy in California
Brother?
Maybe you've
Lost your old
Charm.
I on the
Other hand
Have gotten
Myself a
Date.
Of course
With Joy.
I am
Planning a
Picnic in the
Park.
Here's to a week of nice weather!
-Darcy
Happy
I'm floating
On a cloud.
Our date was
Amazing.
I had fun
And I hope
Joy did
Too.
We stayed
Out late.
Then I walked
Her home.
Hope I see
Her again.
Tease me all
You want
At least
I found someone.
-Darcy
October
Its beautiful
Here in
October.
Wha
t's it like
In California?
Warm I
Assume.
The leaves
Have begun
To change
Color.
It was always
My favorite
