Dear Me,
I’m writing this letter
to try and tell myself
It’s time for me
to feel better.
Dear Me,
How could he turn away
when I needed him?
Now all that’s left to say
is

Dear Me
Oh, what has he done?
Dear Me,
He was my only one.
If he could read these words.
would he run back home?
Dear Me,
Do you really mind?
You’re the only friend
who will take the time
to hear me . . .

Oh, all the plans we made
If I take him back,
do I throw the plans
away?
Oh,
Dear Me
Can we start all over again?

Dear Me
Will he stay to the end?
If he could see me now,
Sitting here all alone,
If he could read these words,
Would he come back home?
Dear Me,
You know I need him near me . . .
Dear Me
Can I start all over again?
Dear Me

Will I stay to the end?
I can only see me now,
Sitting here, all alone,
Reading these words,
knowing why I’m alone
Dear Me
I used to need him by me
I used to love him, dear me,
Dear me.
