I loved you enough for forever
And it still wasn’t enough for you
To want to stay.
So you went and walked away
With some girl named Meredith.
Does she know you have a commitment issue?
Does she know you’re unreliable?
Does she know you’re a liar?
Because you like to play love games
Where everyone is a player
But we all end up losers.
Does she know about me?
That she’ll never be your first true love?
That I loved you still at your worst?
That I showed you what love and healthy looked like?
Does she know you ghosted me?
After a year and a half might I add?
Has she met your brother and friends?
Does she know they loved me?
Did you know your brother did too,
Quite literally?
I hope she knows.
And I hope all of this
Keep you up at night.

Letter 09/06/21
09/06/21 Dear Unnamed, Do you remember how you used to always ask me about my boyfriend? You did this as far back as I can remember. You asked me this for years before I ever even had my first boyfriend. I’ve had several boyfriends since you’ve died. I thought the last one could have lasted forever. We were together a year and a half and we were madly in love, but I loved him more.
