    A LETTER (written in tears)

    I received a letter 2day
    From a long lost friend
    I was a bit suprised
    In the age of the Internet
    I gotta suspect
    She could've texted
    Before the ink dried
    Guess she read my mind
    The letter read
    D'ee its been so many years
    I wanted U 2 feel
    These words written with my tears
    Please know I have enuf
    Self-confidence
    That if U choose not 2 respond
    God speed I will wish
    But my life will surely go on

    Dee I just wanted 2 say hello
    As I cry on my pillow
    Jared left me 4 another
    Like U said he would
    Sometimes with his sexual games
    I felt ashamed
    But I held on long as I could
    I know right now how
    This letter sounds
    Like bit of a rebound
    But when a woman's heart
    Is hallow with the echo of emptiness
    She remembers Once Upon a Time
    And the man she could not resist

    Darwin
    I just want 2 be your friend
    But I can't pretend
    If U desired more
    I would thank my lucky stars
    Though I am perfectly aware
    Your marriage break up
    Left some permanent scars

    Yesterday has turned
    And walked away
    It's buried in the attic
    Of our conscience
    And stored in the basement
    Of our forgotten dreams
    But I can't help but wonder
    If U still hold women in high esteem

    So I write thru my tears
    Recalling the years
    When being worthless was so much fun
    Remember how we would run
    From the ghosts of maturity
    Laughing like children
    Stealing momma's candy
    Making love with erotic intensity

    I so apologize
    If I've intruded on your life
    Maybe you've made up
    With your estranged wife
    I know you love family
    Last thing I'd want 2 do
    Is introduce more strife

    But remember you always said
    Time only waits 4 fools
    I admit back then
    I thought those words were kinda cruel
    And then he walked out
    Right thru my hopeless tears
    In a haze I walked
    Down n2 the basement
    And slept like a baby on a bed of forgotten years

    Darwin
    I just want 2 be Ur friend
    And somehow make amends
    Maybe the next time I'm in Philly
    We can step out 4 a drink
    If U don't respond 2 this letter
    Ill know what U think
    And please no text
    Email or tweet
    Letters feel more personal
    And just plain old-fashioned sweet

    God Bless you and your precious child
    I seal this letter with a kiss and smile
    I know U haven't changed
    Always said you'd never hustle back
    But you and I both know
    I deserve a little more than that
    I'm the love you left 2 persue
    Your goals
    That winter was so damn cold
    But the force in your eyes
    Nailed me 2 my seat
    Yet now I have the confidence
    2 ask
    4 the promise you swore 2 keep

    Remember
    You said in the end
    All that really matters
    Is family and friends
    And I need your shoulder
    Because
    For some reason I feel
    The Winter of My Life is gettin colder
    By the day
    There's nothing more I can say
    I wish you love
    Without malice or spite
    And hope you find it in your heart
    2 write.

    Always thinking of you..

    Your....?????
