Daisy

by sydneybrown

It was raining outside today.

Me, being the overdramatic, cliche person I am,

I went for a walk in the rain.

As I walked, I remembered, as one often will when one walks.

I remembered you.

I remembered who I was.

I remember being so unhappy.

I remember waking up and taking an hour to get up every day.

I remember doing anything to get rid of the emptiness.

I remember making close calls while crossing roads.

But I know me now.

I know my friends.

I know I can get up in the morning.

I know that I dream of a future I never used to.

The other day I said to a close friend of mine,

"I want to name my child, if it's a girl, Daisy."

I never planned on living that long before.

Maybe there is still hope for me after all.
