Daisy's Diary

How would you feel if you unexpectedly meet the man you haven't seen in almost five years whom you also at one point had strong feelings for, well this happened to me today and it was very awkward and exciting. I was invited over to my cousins house to have tea when it turns out he lives next to Gatsby, a soldier whom I had connections with before. I didn't know how to react to this but I ended up being very happy with this surprise. It started raining while we were at Nicks house putting everyone in a gloomier mood. We then talked a lot and caught up with each other to see what they have been doing for the past four years.

When Gatsby left for the war I was miserably sad and thought I would never see him again or find love again. When I met Tom I knew he was a fairly wealthy man and could provide for me so I figured he would be the perfect man for me to marry. As years went by I knew he was not being faithful to me so when I saw Gatsby again at Nick's house I did not mind that I was having reoccurring feelings for him.

The weather cleared up and I felt as if Gatsby and I were becoming more comfortable with each other making it less awkward to be around each other. Gatsby then took us over to his colossal house and showed me the beautiful shirts he had. Seeing these shirts made me realize he does have money and I was so emotional I ended up crying. He also told me he had a yacht which is also a sign of being wealthy. After seeing Gatsby and his house I got the feeling that I should have never let go of Gatsby and he would have been a the perfect guy because he ended up having money, which would have been a great security blanket.
