I tried to write you a letter-
strived to say all the “right things” as I
worked to be a “perfect girlfriend” because I
wanted to make everything
“okay.”
But they’re not.
4 failed attempts-
fumbled words
trite phrases
unsure apologies
crumpled up on lined, yellow sheets
that litter my desk
like your constantly revising emotions.
And this-
This is my 5th
It offers you nothing
except for the fact
that I
have
nothing.
Because in the midst of
writing and re-writing
erasing and thinking
I remembered that
“We” love not because
the other does everything right
“We” share life not just
when things are okay
“We” exist not because
of what I offer or say
No,
“we” can only love, and give, and be
because of the One who loves, and gives and is-
generously.
So-
I tried to write you a letter-
strived to say all the “right things” as I
worked to be a “perfect girlfriend” because I
wanted to make everything
“okay.”
But on my 5th try,
all I really
want to say
is
I love you. He loves us
