how to love
Alexander Edward Reade
hey
how've you been?
i know it's been a while
since we last talked
i know you won't write back
and probably won't hear this
but if it's all the same to you
i thought i'd check in
the worst it's behind me
but sometimes it feels like the best is too
this morning i remembered an in-joke
and the way you'd do a voice to tell it
i've moved past the constant reminders
and put all the holidays and concerts behind us
and looking forward i'm hopeful at best
That one day it will rain and it won't feel lonely
but it might surprise you
that i've still not learned
how to love
and it still seems like
thar most days are somehow darker
even in july
i've not learned
how to love again
