We’re at the table in the back,
avoiding the rush that’s coming through.
But this is our favorite place.
This is where it all starts.

I still don’t believe I deserve the blessings I am given, all of you.
I can enjoy them in their entirety
but still fear that I will miss them.

Letters to my friends we shouldn’t read.
I’m sorry that sometimes
I don’t show up as me.
I have a million different faces,
and I got lost in the debris.

I’m so sorry to have stolen your heart,
kept you close to me
I’m not a monster but sometimes
from the outside I appear to be.

Letters to my friends, maybe letters left unread
I’m here, not dead.
I guess that’s better than
a lost girl in a familiar place.
I’m slowly catching up to your loving pace.

Letters to my friends,
I’d like to thank you,
seeing through me when I’d play pretend.

    That’s how you know someone is your friend – they see you, even though your masks. I used to write letters to my friends while in grade school. I wish I kept some of them.

      Yes, exactly ! I’m grateful for the people in my life who just get me and stay by my side no matter what. You did ? That’s so cool!!! My friends and I did that too. I have a notebook of them somewhere. I’m going to have to look for that now .
