Dearest M,
When you look in the mirror,
you may see a lost cause.
But when I look at you,
I see someone I love.
Someone I always have loved.
I don't believe you're a lost cause,
I believe you're a lesson.
A lesson that everyone needs to learn.
You taught me that despite your best efforts, life throws you curve *****.
You taught me that I'm strong,
strong enough to handle your rejection.
You taught me that I make my own way.
Because of you, the man I love,
I know I don't have to take anyone's ****,
that I'm better than my mistakes,
that even if I think I'm a lost cause,
I can be someone's inspiration.
So yes, a lost cause can be a good lesson.
I don't want to say goodbye,
but I feel like I have to.
You don't love me. You never will.
That's ok. I'm strong enough to to handle it.
Sincerely,
A
Ps. I know you're not longer the boy in the red pickup truck
