I hope you find this letter
by the dried salted runways
run down both your cheeks
you’ve played every love song on repeat
aching skin and bleeding knuckles
as if the pain you feel can be physically shed
looking at your mirror but feeling nothing but hate
a stranger, yet you’ve known this person all your life
you’ve loved all the wrong things, all the wrong ones
but I hope you find this letter, before more damage is done
I just want to let you know, I’ve always loved you
the moment we opened our eyes
I met you with our first breath, we molded as one
Nowadays, it seems like you’ve forgotten about me
but I still loved you, yes. I still loved you when you cried
over someone that broke your heart
when you were so angry, you pierced me too
I know every lyric of every love song ever written
Even when you stared at me in contempt
you didn’t see me holding us together but I still love you
I’m just waiting for you to love me and perhaps
it’s that love you keep running from
So, I ask you. How long until you realize, I’m the one
You need to love
I’m You.
-Liem
