Dear Me

Dear Me,

I’m writing this letter

to try and tell myself

It’s time for me

to feel better.

Dear Me,

How could he turn away

when I needed him?

Now all that’s left to say

is

Dear Me

Oh, what has he done?

Dear Me,

He was my only one.

If he could read these words.

would he run back home?

Dear Me,

Do you really mind?

You’re the only friend

who will take the time

to hear me . . .

Oh, all the plans we made

If I take him back,

do I throw the plans

away?

Oh,

Dear Me

Can we start all over again?

Dear Me

Will he stay to the end?

If he could see me now,

Sitting here all alone,

If he could read these words,

Would he come back home?

Dear Me,

You know I need him near me . . .

Dear Me

Can I start all over again?

Dear Me

Will I stay to the end?

I can only see me now,

Sitting here, all alone,

Reading these words,

knowing why I’m alone

Dear Me

I used to need him by me

I used to love him, dear me,

Dear me.
