Closure


Dear Dark-Haired Boy,

I am crafting this letter to finally say

"Goodbye"

We both deserve closure, so I will tell you

Why;

The last time we kissed 

It felt less like an embrace and more like an attack;

The last time I felt your skin,

Your touch felt less like warmth and more like a chilling breeze;

The last time we said goodbye, 

I was finally strong enough to let go.

~ Lou C.
