You Only Know Who I Used To Be

Dear J,

Its been a while since we've spoken,

And that's the reason that we're broken.

Not because we haven't spoken,

But because we spoke to much and,

The pain from hearts came through our lips,

But I remembered when I used to touch your fingertips.

I want to be the one who pursue's you,

But why can't you just reach out to me number 3,022.

You see, I know I've hurt you too,

But is this it, we're really through?

I tried my best not to push you away,

But my heart spoke louder while I faded away.

I faded into the darkness,

although I saw the light.

We held hands with the devil,

almost every night.

We let him steal our joy,

steal our peace not realizing that God has the relief.

Trying to find God through the mist of it all,

But we were constantly trying to stall.

Why did we try so hard to be what God never intended.

We spoke of being different in this world but we blended.

I know at one point you knew who I was,

But I'm a different person now.

I know at one point you knew how to love me,

But I take different love now.

That was a new creature who was easily hindered with distractions.

Now in this day and age I'm making spiritual transactions.

I still have love for you and you for I,

But don't read this letter without saying goodbye.

Who I used to be is gone, 

Who I am today is alive.

You will only know who I used to be,

Nothing more, nothing less.

I hope you respond to my letter J,

I wish you the best.

 

Sincerely,

Court.
