Ledger Sheet                                                                                        The Letter I Never Sent

I found it tucked in an old desk drawer
Folded tight like it meant something more
Three pages deep in faded blue
The truth I never mailed to you

Your name still sits at the top, half-bold
A love too scared, a heart half-told
I wrote the words I couldn’t say
Then let the silence slip away

 It starts with “I miss you” and ends with “I’m okay”
Every line caught between night and day
 No stamp, no seal, no chance to defend
 Just the letter I never sent

I told the truth in careful lines
How your memory still rewinds
That I forgave what hurt the most
But kept my distance like a ghost

I said I hoped you found your peace
And maybe I’d find mine, at least
It wasn’t anger, just the ache
Of knowing some things break, then wait

 It starts with “I miss you” and ends with “I’m okay”
A thousand things I meant to say
 I wrote the past but wouldn’t press “send”
 On the letter I never sent

 Maybe hearts need quiet goodbyes (quiet goodbyes...)
 Not every story needs reply (needs reply...)
 But I still hold what I wrote that night
 Folded close and kept out of sight

 It starts with “I miss you” and ends with “I’m okay”
No regrets, but it hurts anyway
 You’ll never read the love it meant
 In the letter I never sent
 No return, no address… just sentiment
 In the letter I never sent.
