Hey,

I saw you today

And the day before

And the day before

And things have been great

I’ve smiled and I’ve laughed

And I’ve enjoyed your company.

Today,

However,

I feel I let you down.

I imagined tears rolling down your cheeks

Shock and anguish gripping you

At the choices I’ve made

The decisions I’ve enacted

That have hurt you

Broken you, even.

Can we talk?

Could we have some time to listen to each other’s view?

I call and text

But you don’t respond.

I’m giving you the time I feel you need,

And yet,

I’d really love to hold you close.

I don’t know when this will reach you

Or if you’ll hear it.

But, call me,

I’d love to talk.

Bye, I love you.
