archaic tenderness - 8:37 PM

you wrote me a letter.

only a few have written me 'letters'(more like detached postcards wishing I was with them even if we hadn't spoken in months) 

but they were never so emotionally-charged

they were never pulsing with raw emotion that I could almost tough through the black ink

etched on the lined paper. 


it was the last traces of the love you felt for me - the love you had not long ago announced had faded away like the words traced in the sand after the tide rolls in 

they fade away like it was never there.

but somehow the letter survived the tide and found its way to me in a state of anguish and volatility 

and what meant to bring me (much-needed) closure only brought hope to my delusional mind


I simply could not let you go 

and your loving words assuring that what we had was real 

just acted as fuel 

as I pitifully begged you to come back to me


I had always believed that our love was bulletproof 

nothing could touch us for we were in a bubble (yet I failed to notice that slowly you were withdrawing or maybe I did notice and blocked out the troublesome thought) 

in our time together, the word 'end' was no longer in my vocabulary as the concept seemed unfathomable to me


life is funny like that, throwing you curveballs 

just to see you fight for your glory days to last for all eternity 

as she cackles in the background. 


you were one of the biggest curveballs that stormed through my existence

still, you did what no other had done

you wrote me a letter.
