Dear John

i'll see you soon then

Dear John...

I just found this piece of paper

and thought to write a letter.

So here I am,

curving my pen

tonight... until the dawn.

You see,

I just can't sleep.

maybe because, I am weary...

there are thoughts....

these- thoughts,

I don't want to keep,

only for myself.

These tears just kept on falling.

i'm afraid that this paper,

will soon turn into a dump.

However...

This paper, You must know

is the only one who catches

every tear that's falling...

when you're gone

and there's no one.

When you're far from my way,

so far away....

John, distance means a lot to us.

Distance taught us "trust",

Distance taught us "patience",

and distance... made us feel the absence.

A gap was created,

that made us, somehow, separated...

John, you have to understand

that things don't always go

the way we planned it to be.

Promises, like birds of the air

or pets that we care.

Will soon leave...

No matter how hard you keep

You care, you love,but then you'll see

There will always be birds that won't stay...

You can't just keep promises inside your hand

You cannot cage them for long.

For some remains, others- go.

John...

sometimes, waiting can be tiring.

sometimes... can cause crying.

and other times, it is worth it.

But that's the rarest thing.

You... Me.... We...

We must know, John

We can't just wait forever.

Life is too short to wait.

and life withers like flower...

like a flower,

If you'd ask me to,

I would stay just where I am

But then John,

please hurry back.

I am writing this letter today.

hoping that you'll write back...

SOON...

I'll see you soon.

This was inspired by the movie "Dear John". It's just how I interpret it.

[Coyote Poetry]

A wonderful letter written. I miss the days of letters. letters are nice, hand written, more meaningful. I liked the honest thoughts and the want in the words. Thank you Aerielle for sharing the amazing poetry.
