a letter to you

I guess I need to remember that we are young

And most young love ends like that.

Sometimes I forget that love's supposed to end.

 

It's funny how your needs wane when my needs wax

Or at least stay the same. In stasis.

I still prefer just us two.

I understand that you're the opposite. Your needs wane.

 

And I still want you twice a day. I guess those needs wane for you too.

 

This isn't a poem. This is just a break-up letter, before it happens.

You seem to like preparation.

 

I wonder if you'll still read these.

I wonder if you'll still talk to me.

I wonder if I'll still want you to.

 

Since I was young I assumed I'd be alone. It wasn't something I thought about. It just always seemed the way of the world. I was always fine with it.

 

I'd rather be with you

But you say young love ends like this.

I say-

It doesn't have to.
