Let me think carefully before I put this on ink

Gotta have some composure before I turn this new leaf

New beginning starts with me leaving

Can’t say I like the way this love story finished but we both know it’s best for me to go

You disagree but deep down your heart knows…

As you open up this letter

As you read my very last love letter

Smile turned cold

Not what you expected

We’ve been through this before

I can’t bear to see your face as I walk out the door

As you open up this letter

As you read my very last love letter

And the pages reach the floor

I hope time will soften the blow

Of my last love letter to you

 

Love letter…My last love letter

And with it I give the remains of us

I leave you and leave behind what once was

What we had

what we shared

Memories that we swore we’d always remember and now we try so hard to forget

Remnants of a future turned past

All that is left

Not even pictures can recreate

The feelings we shared when we built those moments that were meant to stay We strayed

We let our pride get it the way

As you open up this letter

As you read my very last love letter

Please don’t take it out on the next

Love is not always what you expected We’ve been through this before

And I’ll leave before love begets scorn

As you open up this letter

As you read my very last love letter

And the pages reach the floor

I hope time will soften the blow

Of my last love letter to you

 

Further down the pages and the paper gets wetter

Dry your tears

Think of all the laughs we lived

The late nights I held u while we’d sleep

It hurts now and in time you’ll see

Your place wasn’t next to me

I’ll miss you and want to return

Not because we belong together

But to recreate the feeling that no other love was better

Please accept my letter

My last love letter

And don’t stop reading until the very last letter reaches the end of the wet paper Tears falling down your face

The only thing I’ll ever regret is not being there to kiss your tears away

As you reach the final page

This is all that is left

No goodbyes

Just my love letter

My last love letter to you
