She said, "It's Hailey, with an "i"
Like hail
Like the weather.
I asked, "Why?"
"Because you're unpredictable? "
She says, "No, because when you have the grandest of plans, I'll ruin your day. "
I laughed. And then when I had fallen in love, she left.
And I realized.
She wasn't just being cute. She wasn't just playing "hard-to-get."
She was warning me, pleading with me.
So now I say, "hello, my name is Sonny."
And they ask, "What? Like the singer?"
And I say, "No."
"Like the sun
Like the weather."
And they ask, "Because you're bright?"
And I say, "No."
"Like the summer, like a drought.
Like a long time without water.
Without hail.
