Unlikely



Yeah I'm great.
How 'bout you?
Did you accomplish all the dreams, you chose to pursue?
I bet you did.
Bet you went far.
No doubt you became famous, a real superstar.
Well like I said.
Myself I'm fine.
Though I never did move on from you, I'm sure there's peace to find.
It's been so long.
Did you find love?
I'm sure he marvels at you like you are the stars above.
You were so gorgeous.
Always will be.
After I met you, you became all that I could see.
I hope he knows.
I really do.
Just how lucky he could be to have a chance to be with you.
You lit the sky.
But I digress.
As I said before my life is, hardly still a mess.
It's long but over.
I had to stop.
I was never able to pick up my heart after the drop.
It's not an issue.
It never was.
A lie I tell myself each day, if only just because.

For years he lived in a secret government facility. One day they found him and were like "what the fuck are you doing here?", and they shot him. Now he wanders the earth as a ghost, a poet ghost (not a ghost writer, he's way cooler than that). For some reason he can wear hats but if he walks through a wall or something (not like tables or small stuff) the hat falls off. He's lost a lot of nice hats. more…
