' Love Letter '
by Ryan Christiano

My Dearest One,

I saw you with him in the park today
Your hand clasped in his like ours used to be

Memories like leaves scattered by autumn wind.

I read today you are to wed him
In the chapel beside the brook
Where we first embraced

Left with the whisper of what could have been

I saw you in the park today
Hand in hand with a little girl
An angel who was your reflection
It broke my heart and shattered my soul

Shards of glass that can't be unbroken

I wish you only happiness
It's as if we never met

That's just as well
These words are my farewell

The words of this unsent letter
Left dampened by tears
