The Letter

The Letter

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas

Last night I found a letter

I recognized your handwriting

But I was too scared to open it

To afraid of what it might say


It's been thirty years

Since I last saw you

We're both married now

And I have four kids


You've got three of you own

A cushy job working for the government

You ask me if I ever got your letter

I lie and say “No, I didn't”


Then we go our separate ways again
And when I get back home

I finally open up that letter

And this is what I read:


I know it's been thirty years

Since I saw you last

I wonder if you're married now?

And if you have any kids?


It was such a long time ago

That day I broke you heart

But I still think of you almost every day

I still regret the day I let you go


I hope you've moved on

You deserve to find happiness

I'd say I've moved on too

But almost every day I still think of you


After I read your letter

I crinkled it up and threw it in the fire

I'd love to say there are no hard feelings

But I still remember the day you broke my heart
