“I don’t think about you anymore.
And I know that writing this
is only fueling my memory by being
set on you, but I have to do this for myself,
and a part of me feels like I need to
do this for you too. I know that it sounds
cliche to say that I will always love you,
but you should know that I’ve always
been a metaphoric fuck, so I will
always love you. My heart just isn’t full
of you anymore. I emptied your promises
from my vessel long ago and instead
of throwing them out, I sealed them
into an envelope addressed to you.
I know how much you’ve always loved
getting mail, seeming important,
having your family see a secret only for you
folded up into a square. So here it is,
your last secret from me, and I hope this one
isn’t one that you hold above a flame
of regret. Because I want you to keep
this one always. I want you to know
how I will always love you but in the end
I will never be fooled into thinking
that you were really the one
who was supposed to be here.”
