Dear Little Girl

Dear, Little Girl

It's been a while since we spoke

Have you found yourself, have you found me?

I don't know what I am doing

No more than we ever did back then

Does it still hurt? Have you moved on and found something better

Everyday is a struggle.

I'm still in pain, but I'm sure you knew that.

You always know that.

I have come to the conclusion we will never reunite.

That's okay.

I've moved past needing you, because I know you're better away from me.

Sometimes I remember when I wanted you back.

Sometimes that makes this easier to think of.

I've grown too old now to hope you'll return.

I know you never wanted to.

Besides, you'll only get your heart broken.

The woman you wanted to acknowledge and love you has forsaken us.

We're not alone, but I am in pain

And we've always decided that you can't endure that.

So here we are.

And I am deciding that it's time.

Goodbye Little Girl. I will miss you, but you no longer can come home.

Love, Older Girl
