Letters to My Lover #5

Before the anger there came grief.

You are important (but not enough)

You are special (but not enough)

You are enough (but not enough… for me)

- read between the lines

Where there is death, there will always be death.

Where there is vacancy, there will always be filling.

I sometimes wonder if our connection left such a hole to be filled

That the universe sent a replacement dove

To the spot that should’ve been mine.

- placating myself

Don’t give yourself so much credit

If life is a film roll

I could cut you out

And my life would still make sense

- your appearance did not change my decisions
