To The One and Only, by Alyssa C

To The One and Only

To Bradley. Keep breathing and never let go.

There is so much to say to you

But not all at once

Just know that I love you

And to never give up

I stayed here for you

As I count down the days

Till I see you for real

Then we will go away

To continue the future

We have always talked about

But what happens if we can’t leave?

Is this goodbye?

Will we die alone?

I know you’re out there,

I’m waiting for you.

To come and get me

And for it to be just me and you.

(2014)

Sometimes she needs to be told she… To put the makeup away She’s worth it To breathe She’s important

When she looks down And sees her scars She sees the pain and the memories That were made The tears,
