Last Letter

This is my last* post on this blog. It's been one hell of a ride. I hope that you like it.

Last Letter

Tell me about her, said the woman in my bed

But you and I, we never needed words

I never had to learn how to swim

To save myself from drowning

In your eyes, full of poetry

Prisoner of your child-like laugh

Knocked the wind out of my head

Crossing your street, past crosses my heart

As if it were just yesterday

With time, nothing changes

Always been mature enough to know

But never enough to act

To know I must no longer wait

For the way you said hi

With a hug, and my world in it

With the strongest gravity, you pulled me

And I was in love with your scars

You challenged an emotionally challenged

And I was, but glad, that you won

With a smile, and mine linked

You’re the only song I know by heart

One I can’t help but sing along

Oh how things you live with

Become things you can’t live without

That’s life, full of departures

So admirable, the way you could

Predict me as if I was merely weather

So profound, the way you could

Calm the storms in my head

With your heart, and its one hundred secrets

Hurts to walk backwards

Monochromatic flashback set in slow motion

I know not what we are

But we are a forever thing

That’s the story, but only my half

I forgot to tell you

That I need you

To take care of the child inside me

She’s my lover but you are my love

With my heart, bare open

You smile when you mention her, she said

I smiled yet again.
