The Fifth Letter

In my mind it’s all the same

Years and years-

Seated at the same game

If I’m being honest though,

I’m afraid I don’t talk about you enough

And that maybe not now

Not today, but soon

I’ll slowly forget these pieces of my past

Because from what I’ve been told

It likely doesn’t last

But as I find myself writing to you

These letters, these words-

I know that you knew

Through it all,

All I could ever need you to.

Letters to you,

Letters from me,

Unanswered yesterday,

Today will be the same.
