I thought of you again today

I thought of you again today

while I was unloading the dishes,

I wondered what kind words you’d say

if only I’d give you permission.

I think of you from time to time

when life gets me down,

I wonder how you’re doing

and if you wish I was around.

Unfortunately, I knew then what I know now

–that I’d have made you drown.

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like for me

if I wasn’t so broken

and had kept around more than a letter,

more than just a token

of the love you had for me once before.

Or am I misremembering, is this merely lore?
