Free Write Friday! "Figure it out"

The prompt: envelope-typewriter-words-Favim.com-404175_large

The attempt:

There are three envelopes. One for what I say to make things easy One for what I say to purposely make things hard. And one for all the things I was never able to say to you because I’d have to say them to myself first.

I only placed one in the mail today, And now I’m afraid it may have been the wrong one. If it gets to you, don’t read it. Burn it. Rip it into as many tiny pieces as you can and then set it on fire.

Or don’t. Maybe it’s best this way. Maybe the choice I made will save us both, Will heal our sore hearts Maybe it will be what sets us free.

You are a steel door most days And I have lived my life trying to be a hinge connected to you Allowing you the ability to move in the right direction But I’m backwards and you, you take advantage of the freedom I’ve given

You wear me like an excuse, and I let you so maybe I should be the one waiting by the mailbox instead. But I know I’ll never get what I’m waiting for. You know you will never give me what I’m waiting for.

Maybe I’ll mail the other two as well, Throw you off my trail a little bit, Stir things up and give myself a bit of wiggle room to work with eh? I’ll let you process what every word of every letter means, on your own.

There are three envelopes. One for what I say to make things easy One for what I say to purposely make things hard. And one for all the things I was never able to say to you because I’d have to say them to myself first.

I placed them all in the mail today I doubted myself, and I doubted you. I hope you’ll figure out which one I meant to send I hope you know me well enough to figure it out…

I swear I gush every time I do a FWF about how much I love the free writing style of writing. I never would have written anything like this otherwise.
