Bringing Mae Flowers

Do you remember that movie I made you watch?

David Tennant was a writer, who was going to marry an actress,

But he fell in love with a failed copywriter on a small Scottish Isle?

Do you remember when she told him?

that her ex called her “A song- not a whole album”,

Then she called herself “a chapter but not a book”.

Back then I thought you were my novel-

We were a long-storied romance like Jane Eyre. 

I couldn’t imagine that there would ever be a sequel. 

We ended before my book did.

But the plot kept on flowing, and the pages kept turning.

I thought we were the story, but you were just an arc.

Do you still remember the end of that movie,

When he wrote the book, she couldn’t bring herself to read?

Do you remember what he wrote in his dedication?

“A chapter can be a book.”
