A Letter For You


You made me think that it was all my fault

Made me believe that I could never be loved again

Made me think that I was a burden

But as I grow wiser, I am able to see that it was you

You were the problem

You were at fault

I simply needed someone to hold my hand

And hold me tight

But you let go on that warm summer night

Never to be heard again

I received the letter that you had written two weeks earlier

I had only thought that it was over

I read that tear stained page over and over and I knew

There were no more days to pass

No more memories to be made

No more words to be spoken

You made me fragile

You made me shatter into a million pieces

Leaving me alone to reassemble the puzzle

How did you believe that I would be better off without you

How could you leave me all alone in this horrid unforgiving world

I loved you so much and yet you still felt unloved

They destroyed you

They made you believe that you were unworthy of love

They made you believe that your life was not worth living

You were perfect

You were perfect in every sense

When you took your last breath you felt utterly alone and unloved

I wish you would have let me know how you were feeling

I wish you would have given me some kind of warning

I will always wonder what I could have done

Could I have changed your mind

Could I have helped you through you struggles

Lord knows you helped me through so many of mine

You left me with so many unanswered questions

But the only thing that I ever wanted you to know is

You were loved

You always will be

You will always hold a place in my heart

A place that can never be filled

Never to be touched by anyone else

You were loved even if you felt that you were not

Cassandra if you were not loved by anyone else

You were loved by me.
