Quote:Darius,

Z is not who I want to be with. He's deplorable. I didn't want this. I didn't want his hand. It's too late. Please be happy in life... Find someone who will love you as much as I do. One of us needs to be happy.

The book in question was a collection of poems, the note tucked away between specific pages and the title of the poem underlined. There was a notation in her handwriting that said, "Imagine the roles reversed."

"Down by the Salley Gardens" - By Yeats.

Quote:Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.[5][6]
