All Unsent Messages
I am believing the ending this time, and I pretend the universe is listening. Here?s to everything we couldn?t say. I?m learning to be gentle.
I wait for your green dot, and somehow the world keeps happening. This is for the version of us that almost was. This is enough.
I turned away when you needed me, and I keep looking for you in crowds. I?ll keep the window cracked for luck. You don?t have to answer.
Thank you for the gentle endings, and I wish I had the courage to press send. Here?s to everything we couldn?t say.
I am washing your scent from the room, and I am learning to carry this gently. I hope you keep the light you found.
Thank you for the quiet courage, and I wonder if you kept anything of us. Here?s to everything we couldn?t say.
Thank you for the soft reminders, and I keep rewriting the past in kinder ink. I?ll put the phone down now.
I looked at my phone instead of you, and I wish I had the courage to press send. I?m letting this be my goodbye.
I watch the door like it owes me, and I promise I am trying to be better. I?ll keep the window cracked for luck.
I smell your cologne in the library, and I wish I had the courage to press send. I forgive you. I forgive me. I?ll keep making tea for one.
