Dear Lover Boy

By: April Lynneidrynn Brown (yazoocityms)

Dear Loverboy:
You stole my heart and I gave you my all,
But in return, you set me up to fall.
You told me to have faith and give you my trust,
But those I love you said couldn't have meant too much.

You righted my wrongs with sweet things you told me,
From the way you looked at me to the way you would hold me.
Ever since that twelveth day in March of 2004,
I wanted you... and nothing more.

I'm so used to you making everything okay,
That when we broke up... I didn't know what to say.
When you confessed that you had cheated,
My world collapsed and I felt defeated.

All I do is read your love letters and reminisce,
About laughs we had and March 28'th when we first kissed.
In a way I wish you hadn't come into my life,
That way I wouldn't have known what being happy was like.

Even though you did me wrong over the summer,
I, somehow, understand from this spell that I'm under.
I really miss you and it's something that I can't deny,
But we can't be friends because I'd be living a lie.

I just want to know "why," out of all the questions in the world,
Who knows, maybe you'll write back... SINCERELY YOURS.
