"I
found a letter from my father
to the sister of my mother
saying he missed her and
when he kissed her last
Christmas he cried.
It was clear he never sent it
though the words showed how he meant it,
and I wondered if he penned it
at my mother’s bedside.
Convince me love is truly real
show that time in fact does heal
prove we mean the things we feel
then explain to me this letter." -Derek
