Dear Jon
Dear Jon
You think too much
Don't worry about the pain
Words are sometimes exaggerated
And if you take it personal
I know it'll drive you insane
Poetry
It's a beautiful way
To speak thoughts to everyone
What sometimes seems applicable
Can be something quite different
So don't take the blame, hun
I know
I'm much too confusing
But remember I'm different now
I have my new life and
When it's hard to cope, I write
Because it's the only way I know how
It's tough
But understand that I have new friends
Whom I love just as much as the old
Not everything involves the truth
And I'm not completely miserable about it
Like I know you're often told
Of course
That's the answer to your question,
I do feel your pain too
I'm glad you still have hope for me
(Secret: I haven't given up completely
I'm just not doing all that I can do)
So there
I know it's kinda cheating
But it's my letter in poetry form
We'll both feel less guilty this way
It's not so direct. But here's the end
So goodnight, and stay warm
