What
I was thinking when I married Tom
I was thinking that I wanted something immediately. I loved
Jay more than words could ever describe, but he had to leave. I sometimes I wondering
whether or not I should have waited though. The night of your wedding is supposed to be fun
and celebratory. On my wedding night I drank myself into oblivion to try and
help ignore the fact that the man I married was in fact not Jay Gatsby. Jay
however, couldn’t support me financially and he had to leave. I needed something
more than a promise and that’s all Jay could give me at the time. Sometimes I
try to avoid any thought of Jay in fear that I will hate myself for not waiting
for him.
I
ask myself a lot what I was thinking when I married Tom. I keep looking for a
complicated, deep, reasonable, justifiable conclusion aside from the fact that
he was wealthy. However, whenever I do dare e to ask myself what I was thinking
when I married Tom, I end up coming to one very simple answer. I was thinking
that he wasn’t Jay Gatsby.
Dear Daisy,
ReplyDeleteWe were in love. You can't honestly say there were no feelings between us. I have not only showered you with wealth, but been a true gentleman and good husband. You are suspicious of the calls I have been getting from some friends. They are just friends and nobody will ever be as good as you.
