Felicity's Letter - Part 1

DateTuesday, June 3, 2008 at 10:04PM in

Dearest Melancholy,

You're the one pushing me away, you're doing this, not me, so why do I feel so guilty about leaving you? It's not fair. You did this to us. You want this, not me. But, as usual, I have to make the decision for the both of us.

Thanks for the flowers.

I can't believe I just wrote that. Flowers. Melancholy, did you really think that flowers would make me feel better? We didn't have a little argument or something stupid like that. Not that we ever have one of those. At least, you don't argue with me, do you? I'm the one who gets mad, and you just sit there, fiddling away with the writing.

Melancholy. I thought you were dead. Did you really think flowers would do anything?
