Purple;

I saw you today. On the streets. We walked right past each other and I knew, right away, it was you. You didn't recognize me though.

Of course you didn't. Many dark years have passed since we've seen each other.

I saw you today. Who were you with? Someone else, of course, someone who wasn't me. Perhaps it's better that way. Never would I have wanted you to be miserable and lonely.

But, my God, how I wish your beautiful eyes would stare at me the way they were staring at him.

I saw you today. Maybe if you were alone I might have approached you. Then again, maybe I wouldn't have. How would you have reacted to seeing me, after I told you my name?

Would you even remember me after all these dismal days?

Flower;

I never stopped looking for you. I promised myself that after I was swallowed the other way down the river. I would do whatever it took to find my way back to you.

But doing whatever it took certainly left some sinister trails.

I never stopped looking for you. After everything I've been through, I kept telling myself it would be alright once I got back to you. I thought for sure all the pain I had ever felt would be relieved once I saw you.

Seeing his arm around you though only made it worse.

I never stopped looking for you. I have so much to say. So many secrets and codes, questions and answers, comments and remarks that left scars… they will only ever be lifted once I've spoken to you.

If only I had the courage to approach you.

Violet;

I've changed. I don't look like the same boy I used to. And I know that what I've been through has made me dark and serious. But if I see you, you will lift this curse.

You will help me become who I used to be.

I've changed. I tried not to, but it just happened. I'm scared of how much I've changed, because I'm scared you won't like it. You have to understand that to get here, I had to fight and do wicked things.

So if you've heard of anything I've done, I hope you can forgive me.

I've changed. But not enough to change how I think of you. How I admire you. How I love you. I've changed, but not enough to have stopped missing you and to imagine how we will finally talk.

Violet, I would whisper.

Quigley, you would respond. And then you would hug me, squeezing so hard it would feel like you were breaking my ribs.

But I would love the pain, because nothing could ever really be pain when I'm with you.
