Resolution

The other day, I sat down and wrote you a letter.

I told you everything I will never say,

all the things I know if I really know you.

Every observation, every hope, every dream, every criticism,

I wrote it down, crumpled it up, and threw it away.

The other day, I sat down and made myself a promise.

I told myself everything needed to change,

all the things I have been doing to be there for you.

Every justification, every excuse, every and yet, every I love you,

I'm letting it all go, giving it up, and pushing it away.
