Sometimes I sit down and wonder
Why I care so much about this world
And the only thing I can conclude,
Is that even though my life is torn asunder
I'm still in love with you.
You may wonder why I'm writing this letter
And to tell you the truth, I don't know.
Maybe it's because I'm hoping,
That it will make everything better,
To tell you what's new.
All too soon I'll be graduating,
Off to travel the world.
You'll be alone then, I know.
But it's proof that we are aging,
And adding on to what we knew.
When I leave, your soul will carry me
Keeping me above the pain inside,
Keeping me from the need to cry.
Perhaps after this I'll be able to see,
The path that for me is true.
A letter written, a letter unfolded,
Ready to be placed by your side.
Will you remember, will you understand
Now, as you were so far ghosted?
Will I cross the lines, returning to the taboo?
With a sigh and a kiss I'll leave you alone.
I promise I'll return again,
And when I come home I'll bring you a gift;
A gift that for everything I've done, will atone,
While reviving my virtues.
Goodbye my lover, may your sleep be restful.
Save me a place by your side,
For one day, there I will return

Submission Name: Letter for My Lover
This is so honest, and so different from your other work. It’s even got a glimmer of hope at the end!
I am guessing that by saying, “Maybe it’s because I’m hoping, That it will make everything better,” you mean that you hope this letter makes him understand the depth of your feelings and allows him to feel the same so he will not forget you when you leave. Or perhaps to relieve yourself of a bit of the burden of leaving a loved one behind.
