Writing this doesn't mean as much as hearing it face to face, but this is the only way that I know how to say what has been on my mind.
I know we haven’t talked much, and we haven’t seen each other in a long time… but you know me, always thinking. I wanted you to know that I miss you.
Not like, I’m missing you because I regret everything or I want to see you again. A genuine, I miss you. It’s weird to think that someone I grew so close to is now a total stranger.  That I sometimes go an entire day without thinking of you… even just a little.  
Most of the time, I let myself forget and let go because it seems easier that way. And then I find myself thinking once again, because of a poem I wrote, or a picture of you slipped into a page of a book, or kept locked in my phone. And then the full weight of what’s been forgotten comes crashing into me once more. It’s not regret. We had our reasons for ending it, and they’re completely valid as ever. Back at the start however, we didn't have reason for anything.
It all just kind of happened.
We didn't have common interests, or similar goals. Most of the time we didn't get along that well.
But you know, we didn't need a reason to fall for each other, we just did.
The reasons came at the end, and everything that’s happened since has been all the reasons why. And that’s good. Its means that one day I might find someone I won’t have to say good bye to. That I will find someone who filled my heart with the love that you let me feel.
Mostly though, I miss just loving someone knowing that maybe, they love you back just as much, and that’s all.
I guess what I am trying to say is I really do hope things are good with you. I hope everything is great. I hope you have found or find a love that’s all the things ours couldn't be and I hope I find that too. But a small part of me hopes you will still remember what it was like before all the reasons… and that
Well..
you miss me too…
I realize this is not quite a poem, but a letter of goodbye. This letter was inspired by a friend who assisted with helping with saying goodbye.
