Derek isn't okay. They left him and that broke him. He thought they would come back, but they didn't. Despite this, he still waits. 11 years later, and he still waits for them to come back.
No one knows that this smiley, cheerful boy is actually suffering from his parents leaving him at the ripe age of 6. No one seems interested in what goes on in his head, even though he wishes so.
They blow him off and don't listen. Derek didn't know that when he ran away he stole something of mine. My heart, he has it. He doesn't know, but he does and it hurts because everytime he cries he clenches the fists that clutch my heart, his own.
He unknowingly dries his tears using what's mine and I accept it. Derek, please come back. Your dear Annalise is missing you greatly. I should have told you I noticed you even though they didn't. Is it too late?
Dear Derek,
They don't pay attention, but I do. I love you, Derek. Please come back, I need you. I'm dying in this hospital bed from an attempt that will change everything forever. I'm okay physically, but I won't be okay mentally until you come back.
