The Last Love Letter To the West

I can't recall the day you left Empty words going west ~To The West Coast~ My love, my sweet love -- my soulmate I will cherish our time, with the sun My love, my friend, my lover Today we part, on this day June 3rd 15 My love, my sweet love -- my everything On this day, I will take a long way home On this day, I will look back and smile To know it was not a dream My love, my sweet love -- my true love With this pen, I write this letter, My bed now knits a different sweater, Preparing my linens for darker weather I want you to know, I'm writing this with a swollen heart It was never you, it was I who grew apart Patience kept you warm when I was cold Every night, I cried, I tried to feed you my dreams My hollow soul sat like a fool under a heavy cloud Holding back, the need of proceeding who I was My love -- please forgive me I was inconsiderate of us I would lay without opening the windows of trust Your smiles I wiped away my faults However you stayed, you watched, You meant to kiss and stop the pouring rain You kept strong, holding my hand, When everything around my life persisted to perish You soaked every time I stormed, I regret when I refused to let you touch the women in me My love -- it was never you I was broken before our hearts met Like a villain and a thief, You took my diamonds in hopes of seeing them shine again Your demons found a way into the shadows of my life Trying to complete what you could not see You could not feel, still, you believed in me My dreams, you held me close, loving who I am My love -- you are the sunrise the sunset Your limbs kept me up when I would fall I will miss the touch of light in every stare Thank you for not looking my way, the day you left I did not want you to see the mask I used to cover it all Pretending, I was strong when I was weak Knowing I had fallen in love with you Forever yours,
