More Than a Letter

You exist as a letter
That sits up on my shelf
As a series of words
I have to search to tell myself
So I don't have to face
Your beautiful lines that I can't trace
Or the things we shared
Memories how they fade just like the color in your hair

This is the day we're moving on
every letter echoes it
The emptiness that's I sit in since you've gone

And it's been a year
And every couple days
I think of three words
I never got to say
But they'll sit in the stories
That well both write
Of a being with brilliance
And another lacking might

This is the day we're moving on
every letter echoes it
The emptiness that's I sit in since you've gone
