the old love letter

i find an old love
letter
tucked away in the desk drawer.
she wrote
it and left it on my
pillow some years
ago.
it's not working out,
she wrote.
i'm not who you thought
i was,
and you're not who
i believed you to be.
so it's best that we go
our separate ways.
we gave it a shot, but
it just didn't work out.
the paper seems dappled
with dried tears
which makes me
read between the lines
again.
i know what
she was really trying to say.
i love you more than
anything.
i can't wait to get home
and hold you in
my arms.
everyday i thank my lucky
stars to have
found you.
i fold the letter
and put it back
in the drawer.
i wonder sometimes
where
she is now.
