Literary Piece: I Liked What I Saw

Author’s Note: I wrote this when I thought I made the right the choice between two people. Turns out I wasn’t totally right about that.

Everything’s different from how they were in the summer. Before, I relied on what I can see, what opportunity is tangible. Now I only rely on memories and day dreams. Some people would think I would’ve moved on by now and forgotten about you. For some time, I thought I had.

Another boy’s caught my attention and I liked what I saw. I thought maybe he could keep my mind off you, but he wasn’t able to pull the act long enough for me to realize he’ll never be totally able to. That butterfly didn’t make me drop my jaw and watch him fly into my web.

I like what I saw in you—artistry, mystery, talent, confidence. When will I ever have… you?
