This One's for You

I wrote you a letter
one you'll never see
I sealed it up and
put it in my handbag
hidden under layers of
debris.

I had every intention
of giving it to you that night
but my hands were shaking
and my mind was racing
so I left it where it was

And the words I said that night
were not the words that
I'd written down with such care
they were stuttered and stammered
and laced with awkward laughter

But the words came out just the same
and I threw that letter away.
