A Little Beauty
by Sean Dunne
If I left here 2nite, would U come w/ me?
What?
If I left this town 2nite, would U take my hand and follow?
Is that a YES?
No, it means you made me smile.
So it’s a no?
Didn’t say that either.
Funny girl. So which is it?
Depends. R U being serious?
Depends on ur answer. :P
Hmm.. Where would we go?
Anywhere you like.
How would we get by?
Same as we do now.. Together, hand in hand.
And how would we eat? No one gives jobs to fifteen year olds.
Hmm.. We could beg, borrow and steal.
Sounds dangerous. Could we just borrow?
Borrow without permission.
You mean STEAL.
Semantics.
So we’ll come back 2 that 1. Gotcha. :P
What else would U like to know?
What about our parents?
They can’t come.
LOL.
But we could send them postcards. ☺ Greetings from…
Pluto?
If you wish. What else?
Well, there is the school thing.
NO 1 sees us when we’re there. Who would miss us if we’re gone?
I would miss U if U were gone!!!
Hence the question.. If I left here tonight…
Would I take your hand and follow?
Why not?
That’s a very good question. It might take time 2 answer. Days even.
So.. You wouldn’t come with me? ☹
Ha! Didn’t say that. U R putting words into my fingers. :P
But you didn’t say yes, either.
I suppose it’s worth considering. After all, what future could this sleepy little town hold for the likes of us?
A trick question?
Depends on ur answer.
Smart ass. :P
U’d prefer the alternative? :D
Like U just the way U R.
Broken?
Not 2 me.
U R sweet.. But we digress..
Yes.. well.. Everyone says the best thing about this town is that it’s quiet.
Ah.. but what is quiet? It’s merely the absence of sound.
Meaning?
Absence is nothing.
So if there is nothing but NOTHING here.. It must mean EVERYTHING is out THERE.
I suppose.
So U make my argument 4 me.
But U 4get.. Im here.
Hm.. valid point.
So, to recap.. there is NOTHING here except…?
Everything I want.
So everything you want is already here?
It appears so.
So now ur arguing to stay?
Ah, but.. methinks you’ve forgotten my original question.
Methinks?? Really? Now ur what.. Romeo?
Something like that.
Prove it.
Fine.. look out ur window.
O.M.F.G.
Why R U on my lawn in the middle of the night?
Im waiting 4 U to take my hand?
U R CRAZY!!! ☺
4 U.
I believe U.
So come out on ur balcony.
It’s a flower box.. U nutter.
At least open ur window?
NO! The rents R still up.
So?
So my dad will strangle U if he finds U.
Ur dad likes me.
He does. So go away B4 he doesn’t.
I’ll go when U stop smiling. ☺
Catch-22.
Huh?
How can I not smile when U R around?
Catch-22.
?
How can I go when I see U smiling?
So Im stuck with U?
Looks like it.
Good. Have something to show U then. Hang on.
Not going anywhere without U.
There. What do U think of the new hat? Like it?
Of course.
Why “of course?”
Love all ur hats.
Why?
B/c they’re part of U.
So R U.
Ugh. :P
2 sappy?
Maybe a little. But I still luv U.
Why do u luv me? ☺
B/c Im part of U.
Disgustingly sappy.
Sorry. I luv U b/c U bring a little beauty into the world.
Better.
Good.. let’s end on that note. Will U be in school tomorrow?
Yup. After chemo. ☹
Last one?
Fingers crossed this one kicks it.
Fingers crossed.
Now will U go B4 someone sees U?
U haven’t answered my question.
What question is that?
If I left here tonight…
I WOULD take ur hand and follow. ☺☺
Swear?
Even if it killed me.
Well we can’t have that, so…
So we say goodnight?
We say goodnight.
And Mica?
Yes?
Ask me again tomorrow?
Don’t I always?
