Letters to Gretchen

by deargretchen

This letter was found in Donnie's bedroom hours after they found his body. They still haven't found out when it was actually written.

Dear Gretchen,
you are beautiful in every way.
Every little thing you do, and say.
All those times you turned me down
all those times you made me frown.

Donnie darko never cries.
But for you he'd wet his eyes.
For you he'd finally save this place.
This garden, this hell, it's a disgrace.

Don't hate me Gretchen, i have to leave.
Ill try be back by Halloween's Eve.
If i never do return.
Strike a match toward the town.
Strike it once, Strike it twice.
and let it burn

I'll never forget you Gretchen.

Donnie Darko.
