Never
Dearest almost,
I never wrote a poem about you
Now, I know that is not saying much
because I don’t actually write that many poems
But I still want to write one now
to make up for it
You never broke my heart
so thank you
Granted, I never really gave it to you
so you couldn’t have broken it if you wanted to but still,
thanks
Speaking to you was sometimes halted and awkward
But I enjoyed every moment
Knowing you was challenging
Which was mostly my fault because
I never gave you a reason to trust me
We always half-fit
and sometimes there was a sweet moment of
perfect
understanding
But those moments were never long enough
And they became fewer and far between
And we stopped fitting at all
And we let each other float away
And it didn’t hurt
And it was easy
And clean
But I never got to tell you the one thing I have since always wanted to say
I do not regret a single thing and I hope
with all my heart
that you find someone who fits, who fills the gaps that I did not
And that you don’t regret me either.
Love,
Your nobody
