Retrouvailles
dear megan,
if i wanted to write you a letter
to finally say everything
i wanted to say if i ever saw you again
i guess
it would be a long ramble about
those times you said
that i was too stupid to get into college
those times you laughed at me
those times you lied to me
those times you made me think i wasn’t enough
those times i wished you were different
but was somehow able to look past it
i would be leaving things out though
because it wasn’t all bad
right?
remember
when you laughed at my stupid jokes
when i was the person you vented to
when i had a reminder on my phone
to tell you to take your meds
when you texted me from the hospital
and said not to worry
because you didn’t mean to
when you and i cried on your bed
and told each other things that we had never told
anyone before
remember
when you kissed me?
but all i really want to say to you
is that i don’t think of you
too much
anymore
i won’t give you an apology
i won’t give you beautiful words
i won’t give you that poem
all i have for you
is a mouthful of cobwebs
and a goodbye
