Are you a guy or girl?

scribbled on by parents,

scrawled upon by teachers,

painted on by colleagues,

and accented by friends.

A Letter to You

This is addressed to those who are my old and new friends/followers on Tumblr:

~~~~~~~~

Hello,

It’s been a while, I know. Almost three months, to boot. The last time I took a hiatus, it was because of an injury... and now, it’s somewhat of another injury. The motivation to write simply disappeared, as I noticed my writing was slowly degenerating into an endless cycle of repeating emotions that have been sucked dry ages ago. I honestly don’t think I’ve written a good poem since “Old Photographs” back in February, but it took me a while to realize that. So, I took time to reflect and discover a narrative I really wanted to tell through my poems.

Despite that, I still have to apologize for taking such an abrupt leave, as I can imagine I’ve caused some of you to worry on my behalf. For those who did: thank you. I don’t plan on taking such a long hiatus anytime soon, so I hope that is reassuring.

I have found a narrative I’d like to tell through my writing, so I’ll slowly be posting them as I figure out the exact words I’d like to put together. Please do message me your feedback, as I’ll be venturing into new grounds with my writing. I would really appreciate it. Do expect a pair of pieces to come out quite soon, and they will be tagged with a specific collection name (I won’t spoil it now, but you’ll find out soon).

If you’ve read this entire letter, thank you for your attention and time. I look forward to interacting with y’all more in the coming days. Feel free to shoot me any messages if you want to say hello haha.

Signing off,

Dylan Yu (aka “Double You” / “DY”)

That's the problem, isn't it? Feelings are not memories... Feelings stay behind Long after memories have faded.

DY // my feelings and memories of you

[ourtwohands]

I hope you're happier now, too.

DY // a six word story  // don’t blame me, look at what you made me do

[ourtwohands]

Love and a true smile cannot be concealed. Even a small smile, Even a small love.

DY // love and a smile

[ourtwohands]

I tripped down memory lane, and fell right back into your arms.

DY // twelve words for 12am thoughts // a trip down memory lane

[ourtwohands]

Let your love eclipse your fears.

DY // a six word story // eclipse

[ourtwohands]

I lost you, between the pages of love poems I've written.

DY // because they always end with goodbyes

[ourtwohands]

Love her In a thousand, Tiny, Unsaid ways.

DY // because she does the same for you

[ourtwohands]

Let me drink away your tears; you've been drowning long enough.

DY // drink your sorrows away

[ourtwohands]

I'll keep this short and sweet: I miss you... Bitterly.

DY // bittersweet

[ourtwohands]

I've mourned the loss of a loved one, before she left this world.

DY // but she left mine

[ourtwohands]

The flowers won't look for your approval to bloom,  and neither will I.

DY // a haiku // to bloom, or not to bloom, that is the question

[ourtwohands]

We never made it, did we?

DY // a six word musing // thinking about us

I'm kind of embarrassed to come off anon 😳😂 I think we're mutuals?? At one point we were, at least. I'd love to chat with you too, but I think you will find that we have very different interests 😅

If you’re a mutual, that’s all the more reason to chat! Refresh me with your interests; variety is the spice of life :)

[ourtwohands]

Your blog is awesome. I am a starter and you're my inspiration.

Thank you, anon! I’m glad my writing was able to inspire you; feel free to message me from time to time. I wish you the best of luck with your journey in writing!

[ourtwohands]

So glad you are back!!

Thank you so much! I’m touched by your kind thoughts :)
