Her face was a
disarray  
of smudged makeup and
dried tears.

Dear Emily,

I understand.

Dear Emily,

I'm sorry for ever
leaving you  at the
worst of times.

I'm sorry for ever
lying to you.
That's not what sisters do, well
did.

Dear Emily,

Take me back and
fix this broken mess of
a woman I call myself
today.

Take me back and
hold me close and
forget everything i've done.

Dear Emily,

I didn't mean to
abandon you,
I meant to save you from
me.

I didn't mean to
leave forever,
but I was long gone before either of us knew.

Dear Emily,

I wonder if you
miss me as much as I
do you

I wonder if I
ever cross your mind while
you're with your
new friends.

Dear Emily,

Forget that I wrote this and
move on with your
life.

Forget all the tears we shed in
each others arms and
the laughs we had at 2 in the morning.

Dear Emily,

Forget me.

It's as if neither of us existed in
each others lives

Dear Emily,

I still love you more than anyone else in the whole world.
