My Unsent Letter

Butterflies and Goodbyes

While other little girls had a crush on Prince Charming

I was in love with you, so much so it was alarming

They told me I am young and that I know nothing

I know that this is true love and I am not just crushing

Growing up envisioning us at prom and graduation

Those pictures of us have undergone a sudden assassination

Knowing that you are leaving me hurts immensely

I’ll remember how we got lost in eachothers eyes with love so tensely.

I said goodbye before, so I know I can do it again

However, I won't be able to forget you like I did back then

I’ll miss your stares and the butterflies you gave me

Perhaps God will bring us back together someday… just maybe.

It hurts that I know you can pick my eyes out of a crowd

And how you can recognize my laugh in a room that is loud.

You know that my favorite kind flowers are lilacs,

And my favorite number is the one that you wear on your back.

Our love is beautiful and unique, this is something anyone can see

But all good things come to an end, and now our love must flee.

How do I tell the little girl inside of me to say goodbye,

It breaks my heart that I have loved you for eight years I have been alive.

Some may say this is a waste of my time,

But as for me, this era filled with memories was my prime.

It takes a lot of me to say this statement, but here I go:

I hope we can both thrive in our lives and learn to individually grow.

Goodbye for now to the one I will eternally adore,

For this line is the truth, and of that I am sure
