The last

The last letter is the hardest to write
saying goodbye never felt more real
its a scramble to put down all the words
and to tell everyone how you feel

there are questions i also cant ask
like should i write in past tense
should i be honest or lie
should it be light or dense

i'm scared i might have missed
something that i needed to say
you see as this is my last letter
i cant explain it another way

I've checked it again and its good
i would almost say that i'm proud
you do save the best for last
to leave now i am finally allowed

i seal the letter and set it down on my desk
i ponder on which placement is best
before holding it against my chest
no way to back out now, i rest
