Letters To You (Poetry Collection)

The Missing Piece

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

My puzzle is almost complete.

I just need you.

I always knew

There was a missing piece,

But I could never figure out

What it would be.

I went through boys, broken hearts,

And cried many tears;

But recently, someone helped me realize what I've wanted has been right in front of me all these years.

People had mentioned it to me,

But I didn't take them seriously

Because I honestly saw you

As nothing more than a friend to me.

We got close.

I was a little immature at the time.

Then I got angry

And left you over a stupid lie.

After you were gone,

I started taking to somebody else,

And one day I realized something wasn't right. I wasn't myself.

I grew up in that moment, And saw what people said rung to be true.

I realized the piece I've been missing the whole time, is you.
