Derelict Love

A breakup letter I wrote from when I hadn't realize how the infatuation I had felt only lasted a month when I had been so certain I was in love with them; clouded with the idea of going through a new honeymoon phase from how I had been craving for so long. I saw how they were the right person, yet it was, lamentably, the wrong time. I accepted quickly how I only liked them because they were there at the wrong time and perhaps we were nothing but a mere memory of when I adored a flower with much tender than I usually do.

Derelict Love

I was reckless and left you for another. Not another flower, but something bigger and much more subjective. Too big for me to grasp, yet so great it piqued my interest.

I let you wilt away before me. Careless I was; forgive me for I took you for granted. Keeping you away from the lights of day because of your splendor. I thought not of the consequences that would come for loving you, hence my rashness, my dear.

You deserve more than enough.

To be taken care of,

to be loved,

to be cherished.

I could not fulfill that commitment and left you to dust.

Thank you for being such a darling and splendid to which I saw what beauty really is.

To you, I hope you keep your grace and stand tall, for someone will be enticed by the colors of you and your vibrance and they will love you much more than I could ever give.
