You wrote in the back of your diary You need to remember to be kinder to me You needed to love me unconditionally Your to do list left me cold While I unpacked my old life Into the current state 7 years too late
I found your diary In a box of my old life
I made lists of my own Remember to pack your books Remember to return the ring Remember to say goodbye to our dog I tried to be so careful Not to take what was not mine To take memories and not take memories
Your list was harder to read You needed to remind yourself Of your for love me If i had found your diary Not 7 years too late It would never have been 7 years to waste
Remeber to be kinder to her Remember to love her unconditionally Treat her with respect You havent asked for it back I guess she has what i lack I guess you dont need To be reminded To love her
Written for D. Right after we broke up almost a year ago. After a long very difficult 7 year relationship, that was never meant to last past the first date I guess. Finding his journal and reading what he wrote really tore into my perception of our relationship
