Did you know I always thought you were braver than me? Did you ever guess that that was why I was so afraid? It wasn't that I only loved some of you. But I wondered if you could ever love more than some of me.

I knew I'd miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn't happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all. I know young people look at me and think my youth seems so far away, but it's all around me, and you're all around me. Tiger Lily, do you think magic exists if it can be explained? I can explain why I loved you, I can explain the theory of evolution that tells me why mermaids live in Neverland and nowhere else. But it still feels magic.

The lost boys all stood at our wedding. Does it seem odd to you that they could have stood at a wedding that wasn't yours and mine? It does to me. and I'm sorry for it, and for a lot, and I also wouldn't change it.

It is so quiet here. Even with all the trains and the streets and the people. It's nothing like the jungle. The boys have grown. Everything has grown. Do you think you will ever grow? I hope not. I like to think that even if I change and fade away, some other people won't.

I like to think that one day after I die, at least one small particle of me - of all the particles that will spread everywhere - will float all the way to Neverland, and be part of a flower or something like that, like that poet said, the one that your Tick Tock loved. I like to think that nothing's final, and that everyone gets to be together even when it looks like they don't, that it all works out even when all the evidence seems to say something else, that you and I are always young in the woods, and that I'll see you sometime again, even if it's not with any kind of eyes I know of or understand. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way things go after all - that all things end happy. Even for you and Tick Tock. and for you and me.

Always,

Your Peter

“Sometimes I think that maybe we are just stories. Like we may as well just be words on a page, because we're only what we've done and what we are going to do.” ― Jodi Lynn Anderson, Tiger Lily.

I'd give anything to see time.

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

[bracketsoffear]

Annabel Lee (Edgar Allan Poe) "Like a lot of the Edgar Allan Poems, this is heavily concerned with the death of young love, and a desire to be reunited in the tomb. Link"

May Bird (Jodi Lynn Anderson) "Shy, precocious May Bird wants nothing more than to be accepted. One day she falls through a lake into the Ever After, a world of ghosts. As she journeys through fantastic lands, she gathers an unusual group of new friends who join together to overcome the chillingly evil Bo Cleevil and find their way home."

Stars - ★★★☆☆

Notes - I’ve seen other people mention this about this book, but i ADORE the way they describe nature scenes, and how vivid a detail you get in regards to the seasons changing. It’s such a beautiful book about three different girls. Murphy is your troubled teen who needs a good influence, while Birdie is the opposite, coming off very naive and inexperienced in life (up until the end of the book). This book reminded me of working on the farm myself, and i could imagine myself right in the fields. i also loved the depictions of mexican culture as a new mexican myself, it was very rich and vivid in detail, i could perfectly envision these people. a proud addition to my library! 

i lost the case/cover for the book! this is why i tend to only buy paperbacks but this was a thrift store find so beggars cant be choosers
