Magic

Draft 1

The sky is blue. 

I know this because you said it is, simply because it is true.

I also know what my best friend Ashley is thinking before she even says it. My boyfriend knows my emotions at the exact moment I feel them. 

This is telepathy.

I can bring myself back to Ireland, sitting on a mountain with my legs dangling above the water. I am four years younger, I am the same yet completely different. 

This is teleportation.

I blend myself into my surroundings when I want to be alone. 

This is invisibility. 

I will love the important people in my life long after they are gone. 

This is immortality. 

We are told that magic powers aren't real, that our childhood playing was all pretend. 

But if that is a lie, it makes me wonder,

Was it true when you told me the sky was blue?
