A Letter For A Rose Poem by Holly Heron

hey....
just wanted to tell you I miss you
and I don't know why I do anymore
it's been so long, an eternity
yet every now and then you creep back into my mind.
it's not love anymore, it stopped being love before it was over
this is something else
I guess it's that we shared a lot
and that we tried to see it through
the arguments never mattered in the end
I look back and smile.
and I forgave you a long time ago for what you did
that you almost pushed me over the edge
that you ruined my life back then.
have you forgiven me yet?
I hope so.
I like to think you're an adult now not like way back then
and that's the problem we were to young
we rushed it all and lost something in the process.

and I know you'll probably never read this letter
and I'm not sure if it's meant to be read
not like the love letters we used to send
or the one that got lost in the post....
I was so worried it would arrive after we split
maybe it will finally get there a few years from now
if you're still there.

you'll never see this
and I don't really mind
I just wanted to say I missed you
whatever it is that I miss...
and if you see it I hope you smile
nod your head
and shake it
and maybe dropp me line....

maybe....
just maybe......
