Thanks to the Future


Dear Future Self,

 

I am sorry

For all the pain that you’ve been put through

For all the blue days

And the ones filled with scorn

I am sorry

For never making sure you were okay

For never asking for your wants and needs

I am sorry

For the days

In which we yelled at each other

The days we cried together

But I am thankful

For the days

That we pretended we were royalty

We pretended we were happy

We pretended we were vampires

And werewolves

And anything we could think of

I am thankful

For the days we played together

And for the days we told each other secrets

I am thankful

For the heartfelt stories we shared

I am thankful

For our parents

For our real friends

For our family

I am thankful
For you

I am thankful

That you made it so far

Without looking back

And picking up the broken pieces

I am thankful

That I know I have you

 

Love,

The You of The Past
