Last Love Letter
your last love letter
not written on gilded letterhead
or even written with a pen
it wasn’t long or convoluted
it wasn’t fancy and flowery
it was simple and from the heart
heard like an echo
resonating through your last days
whispered with every breath you took
last words
summing it all up
repeated over and over
your last love letter
from your heart
your lips
“i love you
you’re beautiful”
etched forever in my memory
