Missing You
To: (Your name)
I'm living in a lie.
I tell you you're the most amazing person I've ever met.
I tell you I love you with all my heart.
I tell you that you are the one.
But that's not true, not really. I've been lying to you, hurting you. You gave me your heart but I didn't give you mine. I can't. Maybe if we had met earlier, I could have fallen in love with you, given you my all, my everything. But now we can't, not anymore.
You are an amazing person, but not the most amazing one.
I love you with my head, not my heart.
I want you to be the one.
I should have realized it sooner. I gave you clothes that I liked, perfumes that I liked, took you on dates where I wanted to go, cooked dinner that I wanted to make.
You tried so hard, to be what I wanted you to be, who I wanted you to be.
I'm so sorry.
But, you aren't him, and he isn't you.
I tried to make you into him, because he is the most amazing person I've ever met, because he's the one I love with my heart, not my head. Because he is, the one.
I was trying to see him in you.
I gave you clothes in his favourite colors.
I gave you perfumes that resembled the ones he used to wear.
I took you to places where he would take me.
I made you dishes that he loved.
Whenever I hug you, I close my eyes and just imagine that you, are him.
Whenever I kiss you I can only see him in front of me.
Whenever we make love it's his name I whisper, out loud. Quietly, so that you can't hear it.
I miss him.
I'm sorry that we didn't get to meet first, because I'm quite sure that could have made a big difference.

To: Dan
I've been deceiving myself.
I've been deceiving her.
She loves me, so much. But I just. can't.
I gave you my heart, a long time ago. And you still have it.
I want you to keep holding on to it. It has always belong to you. Since the moment we met,
It has been your's for the taking.
Whenever I missed your scent, I hugged her.
Whenever I missed your laugh, I teased her.
Whenever I missed you next to me, I cuddled up beside her.
I know I'm selfish, but what am I supposed to do?
I can't hug you, I can't see your laugh, I can't cuddle up beside you. So she's the next best thing. She's hurting because I can't let go of you. I try so hard, every single day. I have tried to love her more than I love you. But, every single time. I fail.
To think that, maybe if we hadn't met first. But, she and I.
Maybe it could have been different?
Who knows?
So therefore, I now. give up.
I can't live without you.
So I hope that you don't get too angry with me.
And just maybe you might be able to forgive me for joining you too early.
Your's only, Phil.
