“An Open Love Letter”

Dear G, this was for you... ------------------------------------------------ "Yellow Dress" Today I wanted to dance in my yellow dress I twirled and twirled until I was a mess I tiptoed around you, aching to possess Kissed your forehead to ease your distress I dreamed you’d smile at me in my yellow dress Come take me away from this quiet unrest Truthfully, I struggle to speak and express These thoughts and longings, too heavy to address I played with arrows in my yellow dress My heart held secrets and loves to play chess I did feel a connection — I must confess Yet chose my sweet silence, nevertheless It’s okay if you forget me and my yellow dress Perhaps I gave you nothing but headache and stress The truth from you — am I allowed to press? Maybe I imagined it all, I can only guess I’m on the floor now, in a state of undress Overthinking whether you cared for my yellow dress Maybe I was too much, trying hard to impress And as the truth settles in… I quietly regress ------------------------------------------------
