Life Letters

 Life Letters

We weren’t opposites, 

You were the fuel that added to my bright fire creating our dark destruction,

I hoped for a world where we truly were opposites.

All the nights we spent stargazing,

Made me forget the ones I spent crying.

I was drowning being around you but I played it so beautifully.

I always tried to imagine the best version of you,

Poisoning the version of myself each time.

Manipulation was your magic but the truth was the antidote,

So I looked into your ocean eyes one last time searching for it but found none.

So in the end, I had to let go of the best version I imagined,

Because living was not free anymore with you.

With our memories fading,

I am finally finding peace.

Thank you for not being my first love,

But my first life letter of what love shouldn’t be.
