A note from the Author
You all knew it would be here. This is a twist off from The Boy Who Never Truly Lived. This is following the narrator’s life after the other story. It tells of love, dreams, friends, and whatever else happens to the narrator in her life. Enjoy!

Almost everyday the musician comes over
Sometimes we go for walks
Sometimes picnics
Sometimes we just goof around
Its wondrous being with the musician
He’s quite the gentleman
He’s tall and pale and skinny as a bored
But he is also very muscular
He came from the country and isn’t afraid of hard work
He has shoulder length curly hair
Its such a deep dark shade of brown
He likes vintage tees and isn’t afraid to wear pink
He actually looks really good in pink
He believes in sharing an umbrella
Holding doors open for people
And tightly hugging me for long periods of time
He is really quite something
And on top of all that
He has an amazing sense of humor
And is very intelligent
You can tell by how he talks that he isn’t from this planet
But the accent makes him even more handsome
If that is possible
I love the musician so much
And he loves me
Life is so amazing right now.
