Thoughts, Never Words. (Poetry Collection)

Little me.

Dear little me,

You had some questions,
In that letter that
You wrote for me
Just 10 years ago.

Its my 18th birthday,
And so,
As per your request,
I am writing back.

The answer is no,
To a lot of your questions.

No, we are not happy,
No, our friends are gone.
No, our parents aren't together.
No, we don't have good grades.

The answer is no.

We don't still smile,
Still laugh,
Still play.

The answer is no.

But I have
A few questions,
For you,
In return.

Why couldn't you
Smile just a little bit longer?

Why couldn't you
Laugh just a little bit louder?

Why couldn't you
Play just a little bit larger?

I'm sorry
That I ruined
your big dreams,
Little me.

Sincerely,
Big me.
