the last letter

lyrics

this is the last letter
won't put pen to paper again

this is the last letter

i promise never
to feature you in conversations
with best friends
for hours on end again

this is the last letter

the one i won’t deliver
nor read out loud
ear pressed to receiver
(i can’t keep doing this to myself)

"you"
the title of each chapter
"you"
i dissect, over analyze and
attempt to decipher
"you"
have changed
(inevitably)
but the memories that i cling to
remain a timeless perfection
i miss you

this is the last letter
this is the last one:

"i miss you
cute slender clever
i miss you
the memory of you
us now over
i miss you
and still i promise never
to let our unfinished love business
move me to
write love sing need
miss you
again"

this is the last letter
i won't feature you
in conversations with best friends again
(did i mention i’m through with you?)


i can still taste the salt of your skin
expanses of me...
still engulfed in you...

"i just wanted to experience
life
love
with you
but i accept this
i do."

reclaim my heart.
