Leave to Love You More – VVE

To people I love,

I love you infinitely with all my heart and soul, and so my actions would speak for the words I’d rather not bespeak.

To people I deeply care about,

I’ll gleefully give my blood, sweat, and tears to ease your ways in every way I could.

To People who matter to me,

I’ll do anything in my full capacity to make you feel that you have a place, that you belong to my humble imperfect space.

 

And Dear rests,

you’re many of the let go (or soon to be dusted stories) I’ll never remember.

And don’t be mistaken, because, to explain the height of this mere precipice at best,

I’m stealing a line from David Foster Wallace’s novel Infinite Jest, which says,

“Everything I ever let go of has claw marks on it.”

And so, please don’t take my words amiss,

I tried my last bit, and,

I gave my last best

to keep you.
