dear "two a.m.,"
soon i shall leave you
we knew the day would come
but i hope you remember
and i hope you forget
there is so much with you i treasure
and so much that i still regret
please don’t think of my spontaneous outbursts towards you
i want you to recall it raining and us dancing and laughing
let my tears slip from your mind
but don't let my scars fade
they are what proved i was real
ask deep questions that startle those you are with
don’t let up, get the answers so you can learn the questions
this is the only lesson i can teach you
for i know won’t be remembered for my intelligence
but for my use of words and how often i gave them
live, love with your heart
i know now that it’s okay to stop thinking
if only sometimes
let my words and my love live
i’ve tried to make my words count
and my love strong
some words i regret, some i didn’t mean
some love was held back, i wish i hadn’t
but they are my legacy
they are what live on
what nothing can strip of me
as the clock strikes "three," just please, don’t completely forget me
