While Jay was away at war, well I was a mess. I didn't know what to do with myself and didn't belong anywhere. My true love had just gone away to war, what was I supposed to do? He told me he would be back for me. I knew as soon as he came back, he'd be running after me. I tried to wait, I really did. Being alone kept me thinking about if he was ever really going to come back. It had me thinking that maybe I shouldn't be waiting for him. What if he never came back? What would I do then? If he didn't come back, I don't know what I'd do without him. While he was away, I thought that I might as well find someone else. If it kept my mind off of Gatsby, I wouldn't care. Of course, when he came back he surely cared. I was thinking about myself, though. I was thinking that he would never come back! I thought about wasting my time waiting on him when another man could be waiting on me. Could I do that to Gatsby? I knew I wanted to be with him, but waiting on a war to end meant not knowing when he'd come home. Thinking about him made me want to wait, but thinking about myself made me want to move on with my life....
Daisy,
ReplyDeleteI have always loved you. I was going to come back to you after the war, but when I came back you had moved on with your life. You had a husband and a child. You were a seemingly completely different person. Well, you seemed different, but I realized you were still the Daisy I had always loved. I know that you still love me, and only wish we could be together.
, Gatsby

ReplyDeleteYou did the right thing Daisy. Actually, to be honest, I don't know how you waited so long for Jay in the first place. It must have been extremely boring. How could he expect you to stay out of the game for such a long time, it's against human nature. You were such a beautiful young woman, all the men wanted you. And, like most women, you needed a man, you couldn't go on waiting until you were old and less pretty. It just doesn't work like that. Don't beat yourself up kid, its only the way of life.
