Love Letter

By Sparkling Water

 

It's hard for me to tell anyone how I feel.

Funny how things were different when it came to you.

I've been sent the signal, but I've run from the call.

I'm afraid of the message I'll receive because I already know what it says..

 

It's a love letter from you addressed to me,

And with every word I read, I feel your feelings inside of me.

But with every sentence, I feel scared.

Scared that the way I feel for you may be real.

 

Fate chose the wrong person for you.

The love in Cupid's arrow brought sorrow and pain instead of love and bliss.

Pain you've gotten from me.

I don't deserve you. You've given me too much.

I got your mail today, but I threw it out because I'm afraid of what I feel towards you.

 

It was a love letter from you addressed to me,

And with every word I read, I feel your feelings inside of me.

But with every sentence, I feel pain.

The pain you've felt every time I've walked away.

 

I know your feelings are true. Mine are too.

Those times you revealed your anger… Don't deny it, I know it came from you.

But I don't blame you. I deserve every hateful word you speak.

There's nothing for me to forgive because I'm the bad seed..

It amazes me how everything you feel, I feel.

 

It's written in a love letter from you addressed to me,

And with every word I read, I feel your feelings inside of me.

But with every sentence, I run farther.

Putting our memories behind me, and leaving you with nothing.

 

When you hurt, I hurt.

Now while you're happy, I'm crying, knowing it my own fault.

I shifted our universe. I destroyed everything there.

When Aphrodite chose to bless us with a heavenly kiss, she forgot to give me the faith I needed to stay in the relationship.

I saw the notice posted but I chose not to read it because everything about you consumes every part of me.

 

It's a love letter from you addressed to me,

And with every word I read, I feel your feelings inside of me.

But with every sentence, I feel closer to you,

And I turn my back.

 

It took a while but I finally have it. I'm strong enough to be with you.

The problem is I don't know if you'll have me after everything I've put you through.

I'm floating in the air, thinking of your warm embrace.

I'm in love. And I come home to see…

 

A love letter from you addressed to me,

And with every word I read, I feel your feeling inside of me.

But as I finish reading I realize one thing.

Your letter was dated two years ago.
