I put the reasons on this list.

With dotted is and crossed t’s

I wrote it with my favorite pen.

It was done with painful ease.

My reasons read like this:

Maybe I shouldn’t feel this way

Maybe too quickly we grew in love

Maybe our timing just isn’t right

And maybe you’re not “the one.”

It’s never been this easy.

How can it be so easy?

No, no ,no….

It shouldn’t be this easy.

I’ve been through love before.

It left me with nothing but pain

And that’s why I wanted to say goodbye

Before you had the chance

To leave me out in the rain.

And that is why…

I put the reasons on this list-

With dotted i’s and crossed t’s.

I wrote it with my favorite pen.

It was done with painful ease.

My reasons read like this:

Maybe I shouldn’t feel this way..

Maybe too quickly we grew in love..

Maybe our timing just isn’t right..

And maybe you’re not “the one..”

I had it here in this envelope.

On the outside- your name in calligraphy.

I sealed it with a farewell kiss.

I promised it was my final plea.

I wanted it to not be this way.

I’d rather never see you go,

But I’ve learned to hurry and say goodbye

Before I’m alone; freezing in the snow

But I’m tearing it up right here, in front of you.

And the truth is something you have to know.

I know you and I are meant to be.

I heard it all in how you said “hello.”
