An Apologetic Love Letter

You’ll never love me again

 

You’ll never love me again because 

I made mistakes

 

You’ll never love me because 

I made us break 

 

And you’ll never know i love you still

And how sorry I am  

 

I miss the way you took your day

To make mine 

With soft laughter and smiles.

 

I miss how you never cared 

What people said

Even when they tried to make you

 

I miss the look in your eyes 

When me and you were with each other 

Even when we argued

Or when you cried and they were filled with sadness 

 

I miss everything.

Even if you think our everything meant nothing to me

It did

Or if you knew i still love you more than anything in this world

 

You wouldn’t love me back

And I don’t blame you 

 

For not looking at me anymore

Or for not loving me anymore

Maybe not even caring about me anymore

 

When i think of you it feels 

Like putting pounds of salt 

On deep wounds 

That no one will ever see 

But me

 

Those wounds have settled on my lungs

Making my every breath hurt

 

Making my eyes fill like warm oceans

 

Every second these wounds grow bigger 

And i don’t know how to make them heal

 

I see you now with a greater person

A person who will treat you better than anyone else

And who makes your smile prettier than anyone else 

 

You deserve it.

You deserve this whole world

And everything that makes you smile brighter than 

The moon and stars

 

I never knew how much I truly loved you til i let you go

Or how happy I was with you 

Now these wounds will grow 

And the pain will throb

 

For me to feel
