i know you’re in love her, 

and you’re happy. 

and i don’t want to ruin that

because i love you that that’s 

the selfless thing to do.

just to let you be,

and maybe 

let this die

but i need to say it,

if not to you 

for myself 

i’ve loved you for a very long time,

probably longer than i realised.

i just didn’t realise until i was too late,

too late to tell you.

now you’re happy with her,

after thinking you might never find 

happiness.

i wish i could have told you that you 

my love deserved all the happiness in 

the world.

and after everything i’m ready to admit 

that i could have given it to you.

that you could have been happy with me.

if only you knew

how many times 

i should have told you 

i love you.

maybe i should have held 

onto you tighter,

when i had the chance.

maybe i should have done 

a lot of things 

differently with us,

and this wouldn’t have ended with 

a broken heart and these letters of a 

lost love. 

– this is my advice, go tell her now.
