This is the last time that I’ll be writing about you;
This is the last time that I’ll be writing about how important you are,
Or the way my heartbeat triples inside my chest the moment I see you.
This is the last time that I’ll be comparing you to everything beautiful in this world,
This is the last time that I’ll let the world read all about the wonderful qualities
You and you alone possess.
This is the last time that I’ll make you cry with my words,
This is the last time I’ll let your teardrops, whether they be of joy or of pain,
Stain this piece of paper where I have the courage to scream out all the word
I kept bottled up inside.
This is the last time that you will get to read all of this because finally,
Finally, I have the courage to stand in front of you,
I finally have the courage to stand in front of all these people, and shout at the top of my lungs just how important you are to me.
This is the last time that I will write down on paper everything I’ve been feeling inside,
Because I can finally say those three words I’ve wanted to say all this time,
“I love you.”
This may very well be the last time that I will write everything I’ve been feeling for you,
But this is not the last time that I’ll be loving you.
