Truth is

Truth is

A Poem by hannahspelledbackwards
"

The letter that will forever remain unread.

"
Truth is, I think you changed my life.
And you will never know, nor will you ever read this.
I think about you all the time.
Everything seems to remind me of you.
"Would he approve of this, would he think this is funny?"
Sometimes I want to call you and tell you what just happened.
Other times I want to rub stuff in your face how great I'm doing.
When actually, I'm not doing so fine.
And it's not you that made me feel this way.
In fact, it's myself.
I want so badly to become the person I was before I met you.
I was really great.
I'm sure you'd like the old me much better.
I miss talking to you everyday;
hearing one of your ridiculous stories that seem to only happen in movies.
How remarkably clumsy you are and yet oh so graceful.
I think I fell in love with you.
Or rather, the person you claimed to be.
I don't know you anymore.
Maybe you've changed,
or maybe you're still the same.
But I sure do miss that smile when I'd say something funny,
or the times your voice cracked when you got excited.
But my all time favorite was when you tilted your head in confusion.
I think that's what got me the most.
We finally talked yesterday,
after what seems like forever.
It made my day.
Let me rephrase that:
It made my summer.
I'm sure I never cross your mind,
And if I do,
It's probably because I'm something you regret.
I've developed a crush on someone new,
but I know it won't go anywhere.
The truth is, I think I'll always compare everyone with you.
Sometimes in a bad way, others a good way.
I really do wish the best for your life.
I wish you still cared enough to see how I was doing.
You used to do that a lot.
I miss how you used to care.
Above all, you changed my life.
And truth is, I don't think I'll ever be able to find the nerve to forget you.

I think we all feel this way some point in our lives. Am I right?
