To you. You would like the woman I am now. The woman I’ve become. I have more bite than I used to I watch others shy from my passion The way you would’ve leaned in. I speak more clearly than I did More intentionally. I retort in such a way That I once admired you for. Thinking “I could never be so smart.” You wished me to be more opinionated More spiteful More biting. Maybe if you would have waited to see You would’ve seen the woman you wanted. I miss your cunning intelligence That made me ponder What I hadn’t before. That refuted my points In ways I had not imagined. There are many things I miss. But then I remember What I would have had to give up In exchange for that biting humor That spiteful intelligence That cunning smile. I do wonder If I became the woman I am Because I finally let you go. Because I was forced To push back In such a way I never could with you. You would like the woman I am now. The woman I’ve become. It’s too bad you’ll never see Because you were always more important Than me.

Letters Ill Never Send
