dear love

Dear future love,

please bear with me,

there is still pain from the past,

there are hidden places that still hurt,

it is not out of some forgotten love,

rather the feeling of some misplaced guilt.

Dear future love,

my love is sure and overflowing,

it is cosmic like the dance of burning stars,

it is honest and pure,

it is a poem written only for you,

my love is beyond reproach,

as deep as both our souls.

Dear future love,

I am a thousand souls spilling out,

a fighter with scars from a past life,

my walls covered in mistakes I made,

maybe some shame and regret here and there,

but I've learnt to forgive and forget,

redemption is for survivors after all.

Dear future love,

read this love letter with a simple rationality,

maybe a little compassion and empathy,

unsaid words sometimes pour out of me,

because these are the words I will never speak,

maybe this letter is more for me than you,

all I know is PS: I love you.
