To The Me I Was Last Year
Dear Me From Last Year,
hi.
yes, it's you.
this seems strange.
i am aware. but do not be
afraid; i bring good news. you
see, you have things that
are waiting on you;
so please, girl,
wait.
you
have waited
and waited and cried
feeling unloved; a waste of
time. this is wrong, you know it
is; be happy, and know that
someone will love you,
so very, very
much.
he
will come
from nowhere, and
you will not expect him,
but he will be there. waiting for
you as you waited for
him. and you will
love him
all.
his
hair will
fall like the softest
clouds, his eyes won't work
right, his hands will swallow yours
like jonah's whale. and he
will find himself
in you. you.
you.
but,
you do not
need someone to love
you into happiness, because
you are a radiant sunflower in a
light summer breeze, bright
and calm and constant.
you need
yourself.
he
is the added
bonus to being in
love with yourself. he will
love you because you love you,
and he secretly will want
that for himself.
Be your own
light.
this
sadness within
you is short lived, and
you will see a blue sky again,
because you found your cache of
love, for every living creature,
for every little thing.
use it, my love,
use.
Love,
You, One Year From Now
