Dear Mr. Daniels

Dear Mr. Daniels,

I remember a time

where I could just call you Jack,

but that isn't a time

I really want back.

All the nights;

the doubles, neat.

So many nights,

and mornings where I felt like I had been beat.

Mr. Daniels,

You had me feeling lower than low.

Despite that, Mr. Daniels,

I'm still going to thank you, though.

You

had me doomed from the start.

But because of you,

I had the courage to be free with my heart.

So, thank you, Mr. Daniels

for giving me the confidence to know what I was worth.

Maybe I'll see you again, Mr. Daniels

because you're still the only one who can numb that kind of hurt.
