I Found A Letter

I found a letter in the drawer

In the corner of the room   

Could barely see it

Until I freed it, so I could read it

Opened the letter and read her story

Through the smudges of her tears   

And all the scratchin’ over written fears

 

I wanted to know more

And every hurried word I read  

Echoed in my head

Echoed in my head

 

A testimony of a young love

All the heartache, give-and-take  

She finally figured out

Love is never as easy as it seems

Throughout her letter  

All her anger felt familiar to me  

Made me remember how we used to be
