Letters to Mr.x : an intro to the things i never had the balls to say.


1.    I think that when you lose something good, you never forget what it was and how it made you feel


      But I don’t believe in regrets and I’m the queen of letting things be


      And now everything is falling down, you could call me London Bridge


      But maybe there’s still a chance? How do I not ruin it again?


      My fears lead me, they’ll always lead me, and they make me take risks


      Consequently making me cower, how do I know that this will be worth it?


      Maybe that’s the wrong question maybe I should ask if I’ll pick you over my fears


      I think not.



 2.   I think that absolutely nothing is sure


   That is; you and me- this love thing


   It’s not sure.

   I’m not saying I don’t love you, or that you’re not my person

  And that you don’t listen to my problems and make life easier for me by just being there

  I’m not saying that the way you love me is not the dream of every girl


 I’m not saying that this your selflessness is not the key that unlocks my heart,


 I’m not saying you are not the key.

  I DO, YOU ARE, YOU DO, IT IS, YOU ARE THE KEY


 I’m saying that this life is too uncertain


 And that humans are unpredictable

 I’m saying that hurt is inevitable

 And I’m saying that maybe to back out now is right


Because as sure as your love is, and as sure as our connection is


This life is no respecter of love or of person


So maybe one day you’ll find someone


Who is a junkie for risks and maybe you’ll


Be happy.


Think of me always


With love eternally


I’ll always be yours.


 


3.      I hope that as you say the words ‘I do’


You imagine me by your side, for just a second


Because that’s the only picture in my head


And I wish I could paint, then maybe it would seem real.


 


You, the way you fear change


And the way you knew you had me, but those insecurities


And the way they fought us


That is the way this fear fought us,


It was what kept me from saying I want forever


And it was what kept me from letting myself go, truly


It was what kept me from accepting that you had accepted me


And it is what keeps me from being there today


To scream my rejection


And now my peace is forever held.


 


 


4.      Dear ex-lover and friend,


Confidant and supporter


How do I explain that I feel free without you?


And that I no longer have the weight of the world on me


How do I explain to you, that without the stares of people


And without the expectations from you,


My steps are lighter


How do I make you sit on my sit, and wear my eyes?


To walk in my shoes and see it my way?


How do I let you know that I loved you too much


That I didn’t want people to know I was yours, and you were mine


That it welcomed invisible pressure?


How do I explain to you, that I loved you in a way the world wouldn’t understand?


And that I’d have preferred you to love me in silence than in the open.


How do I explain the tug of war that went on in my mind?


How do I explain that I wanted out since?


That I want to be your friend, I want to remain your friend


That I stayed because I loved you, that I write this because I love you


And that maybe when you read it, you’ll understand the tornado that resides in my heart


And maybe you’ll look at me with that love you wore so freely for the world to see again.


 


 


5.      It’s been 1 month


Only one month!


We may not be together again


But I love you and I hate you


I love that you grew up


And told me you were done


I honestly never thought you would.


 


I love that the cycle of my indecisiveness


And our constant banter finally got to you.


Maybe I wanted to see if you could really let me go


Maybe I didn’t.


I want you to know that


I hate you for letting me go


And that I love you too for it


Because I’m aware I never gave you my all


 


I need you to know that you did everything right


And you loved me right


That you gave your all


And the reason you didn’t have me all


Is because I’m half a person


And that’s all I had to give.


 


 


 


6.      Two months, Mr. x


A whole two months!


I want to say I’m sorry


Because, you didn’t truly know me


And that is my cross to bear


Because you never understood that drama is my fuel


And I thrive on chaos


You never understood that my veins and arteries


Are intertwined with disorder


That I loved to fight with you


Because it showed me you cared


That I got bored with easy and I loved to challenge you


I’m sorry that I never told you


I hate that you never saw through my lies


I hate that like everyone else you believed who I supposedly was


And I hate you for not seeing the me that I was scared to embrace


With all the puzzle pieces I gave you, you never could complete it


I hate you so much, that I love you for not seeing it


Because if you had, you’d have run,


So I’m grateful for the time spent with you


I’m happy you knew me at least on the surface.


I still hatelove you, and I’ll probably always


But I have hope, that the magician made for me


Will master my tricks, and cast spells that make me dizzy with wholeness


So till my magician comes.


This is Goodbye, have a nice life.

For the one with whom infinity will not be enough.

  To the one who will ask, for the one that’ll hear my vows; ‘ I do’ wrapped up in lilac.   Two words dressed in apparent frailty, spoken ...
