I got your letter the other day
Would you believe I almost threw it away?
The idea
Of you trying to reach me
After our broken hearted falling out
Something kept me from turning away.
I opened your letter the other day.

I'm dying, you said
Just can't keep holding on
I need you to know,
I never meant to make you go
The next line was smudged
Could't make it out.
She's gone, your mother said.

I got your letter the other day
Good thing I didn't throw it away
The idea
Of you going before we had the chance
To mend our broken hearted falling out
I'm sorry I turned away
I threw your letter out the other day.
