dear shannon,

i wore your dress today

it felt like warmest closest hug.

id be lying if i said i wasn’t nervous

but wearing this dress,

and talking about you everytime someone mentions it,

i feel closer,

to you

i want to know,

what did you believe

what did you question

when did you feel it

when did you almost lose it

but kept going,

or did you lose it

i just want to know.

i want to know

your favorite song,

all tricks you learned about the best ways to live.

for now all I know is in the stories I've heard,

and in the way this dress fits.
