A Letter From Death by Connor O'Brien (17, Washington)

Hey, it’s me again.
I know we haven’t spoken in a while.

I know we flirted back in high school.
That was a long time ago.
Seems like I haven’t talked to you in forever.

---

Do you even remember me?
Every day before bed you
And I would talk for a bit.
Then you got over me... So...
How have you been?

You used to say we’d settle down together.
Oh, how you did push me away whenever we fought..
Underneath it all I know how badly you wanted me.
Remember those days?

There’s not much else I have to say.
I just wanted to see how you were.
Maybe see if we could catch a movie sometime
Even if it was just as friends.

Have you been seeing anyone lately?
After high school I haven’t really been seeing anyone.
Seems like nobody likes me.

​Call me if you want.
Only, don’t lead me on.
My only wish is to finally settle down with someone.
Especially someone who loves me as you once did.

Yours truly, forever and ever,
Death
