Poem: Letters

For years I have tried to convince myself
That I will be okay if I never know your name
Or hear your voice
Or share my life with you
For years I have played the fool
Fooling myself and others
That I could be content all along
That I would travel the world
Seek education
Enjoy the company of another
Only when I choose to
Lies I have woven to subside an ache
False truths I have tried to believe
I have pretended for the sake of safety
In truth, I need you.
