4 page letter

i wrote you a 4 page letter,

but I sealed it away in two envelopes

and a roll of tape

because once you read those words

you can not unread them

and you are already so

upset - I do not dare lay

this upon your shoulders.

I wrote you a 4 page letter,

but none of the sentences came out right

All I really wanted to say was

"I love you, please remember me,

do not leave,

it’s not that I want you to be with me

it’s just I don’t want you to be with anyone else”

and it took me 4 pages to say it.

I wrote you a 4 page letter,

but then i saw tears struggling down your cheeks

the suns light reflecting off of them

and i will not make it worse

so I folded it in two envelopes

and one roll of tape

and I shoved it in my

3rd dresser drawer down.

I wrote you a 4 page letter,

but you’ll never see it.

On the second page it says,

" I just want you to be happy"

So I shoved it in my 3rd dresser drawer down.

I can already feel the regret in my blood,

burning red hot

while I watch you go.
