Hey Matt (Letters Between Lovers)


I promised I would only talk of true love if it really existed. I promised myself, when I was young, that I would only love someone if I knew they would never break my heart. I waited so long for that person to come. I never found them, I never knew you were my break from my tight grip on reality. I always loved you. Ever since I could first realize love. -Matt Hey Matt, Do you remember, when we were younger? That was freedom. I wasn't stuck with all this. My past. But you, you're not a mistake. Even though I left you in the dust for so long, you waited. When I was with someone else, for what was supposed to be eternity. You waited. So maybe my mistake, To end that, Was never really a mistake at all. -Mihael When we were younger... Of course I remember that. I've always loved you, even if you didn't love me back. I followed you, We were best friends. But I kept quiet. About how I felt. And then one day, you left me. The next thing I know, you're gone. Taken from me for life. That hurt, more than anything I've ever felt. More than when I was shot in the chest, with a bullet that I took on for you. Maybe that's what made the hurt go away, knowing that you were safe. -Matt
