When you wrote me a letter <br />To tell me I'm better off without you <br /> <br />A tear ran down my face <br />I wiped it away <br />Before I thought anyone would see <br /> <br />I ripped the letter in little pieces <br />So no one would read it <br />But now I wished I didn't <br /> <br />I have nothing but your memory now <br />But that's slowly slipping away <br /> <br />And if you died <br />I probably wouldn't cry about it <br />Because I cried enough for you <br />In the last couple of years <br /> <br />I guess when you told me <br />I was better off in the letter <br />I didn't believe you then <br /> <br />But now I know <br />That best thing you ever did <br />Was to write the letter <br />That broke my heart that fateful day<br /><br />Beth Ann<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-dear-john-letter/
