Dear You,

I'm sorry for that mess
I dragged you into.
I'm sorry for the way
I treated you after.

You see,
I didn't want this.
Well, maybe,
I did.

I think constantly
about what happened,
and, I'm being honest,
I can't believe it.

All of our relationship
was so real and pure.
It was so perfect
and.. amazing.

Now, I'm missing.
That's it.
No extra wording.
I'm missing.

You know,
when I left,
I left half of myself
with you.

When I left,
I thought, maybe,
things would get
better.

I thought..
and thought..
and thought..
and cried.

The truth is
I missed it;
being free.
But now,

I miss the love.
The actual feeling
that someone
was in love with me.

I don't think
I'd ever felt
that loved
in my life.

And I tore that.
Our love was a
number on a napkin,
a love letter

from an admirer,
the newspaper
in a child's hands.
It sounds perfect,

and it is,
at least for the
smallest seconds
before it isn't.
