The Love Letter (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
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
