letters to my love

I’ve written at least a dozen drafts of this very letter. Stumbling on the words. I just needed to know you’re really invested in what I’m saying. I couldn’t possibly say my goodbyes in person, especially to you. You wouldn’t listen.

Before I go, I need you to see my side of the story.

Meeting you was life changing because I’ve never known someone who harbours so much love in the deepest core of their heart. I know everyone that you love and I’m so happy for them, jealous of them, and in debt to them. You are the sun and the moon and every single god damn star in the sky. That’s how I see you. You asked me awhile ago and I couldn’t possibly answer while looking into your eyes. That’s my own fault, I’m far too afraid of vulnerability and you deserve someone who can reach your depths alongside you.

I love you.

It’s ok, you don’t have to love me.

I would never say it to hear it back, I just think you deserve to know.

Listen before I go. I love you the most.

Sincerely yours,

and yours forever.
