Letters We Write in Our Life

Letters We Write in Our Life2 ene3 min

<p>“everything we say at funerals should be said at birthday parties instead. we leave so much love unspoken” </p><p><br></p><p> We write two letters in our lifetime:</p><p>the one we send,</p><p>and the one we never do.</p><p><br></p><p>The letter we send is reckless,</p><p>beautiful in its courage—</p><p>softened by hope,</p><p>trimmed down to what might be forgiven.</p><p>it spills only what we dare to say,</p><p>only what we hope will be received.</p><p><br></p><p>But the letter we never send</p><p>is where the tragedy lives. Where the grief learns how to speak. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>There, every word is poured without mercy,</p><p>every feeling laid bare,</p><p>even the ones we spend a lifetime avoiding.</p><p><br></p><p>It holds truths too painful to speak,</p><p>confessions too heavy for a voice,</p><p>sentences that hurt too much</p><p>even to be written.</p><p><br></p><p>There, nothing is spared.</p><p>Every word bleeds freely,</p><p>every feeling collapses onto the page—</p><p>even the ones we bury so deep</p><p>sentences that tremble</p><p>because writing them feels like losing everything.</p><p><br></p><p>There, it carries memories of pain</p><p>alongside the love we once had.</p><p><br></p><p>It remembers the pain</p><p>exactly as it was,</p><p>pressed against the memory of love</p><p>we were never able to let go of.</p><p><br></p><p>It holds goodbyes that felt unbearably heavy,</p><p>knowing how deeply we loved.</p><p><br></p><p>It holds the ache of belonging—</p><p>a feeling so strong</p><p>it feels like it is tearing your heart apart.</p><p><br></p><p>Yet we write them anyway,</p><p>not to be answered,</p><p>not to be saved,</p><p>but because some pain</p><p>refuses to stay silent,</p><p>even when it must remain unheard.</p><p><br></p><p>silently,</p><p>lovingly,</p><p>alone.</p><p><br></p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>METANOIA</p>
