On the Inside

Letters from a Ghost

I read your letters today.

I don't know why I can't seem to let go,
When it seems you never cared to even hold on.

Its been 4 years since the last time I read them,
About 12 years since you first sent them.

I stared at every detail,
every dot on every "i"
every flick of every "y"
I watched the glint of light catch on the shine of the pen's ink
I read every word
I analyzed each meaning
And I wondered if you truly meant it when you called me "Beautiful"
Or when you told me "I Love You"

You were the first person to break my heart
