Dear John

Dear John

A Poem by Genevive

Dear John

I packed your things today. They will be at the side door that you first walked through when you met my parents. I felt torn about giving you the boardwalk photos, when we first kissed, but I figured you paid for them, so you should have them. The one thing that I kept was a picture of your kids by the lake on the 4th of July�"when Johnny had sunburn real bad. It reminded me of when they asked if we were getting married�"and you said “maybe.”

I will miss them terribly.

 

Yours,

Genevive

Poor John. Might sound cruel, but I actually laughed as I read this. Old John certainly got crossed out, didn't he :)

Heartrending...your letter is concise and final, illustrating the strength of broken cords.

I think everyone has written something like this at some point in time, which makes it truly universal.

Some "moments" are more ...real, than others. A lot of impact within a small appearing piece.

I like this letter, this beautiful write. Why? because it's just that divine, and nothing more than that, what was needed to say. Pure life, and things that happen. Honestly amazing. I find this inspiring. Maybe I should write one day, a letter or a page out of my diary.... Thank you.

Very affecting. Full of loss and regret, striving for acceptance. These wounds will not heal, while love informs them. Strong write.
