letter to the distant past

its 3am
and im here sat
on a bench outside

the wind and rain
collide
with my cold skin

the letter
i had written
in the so distant past

lies soggy
on my lap
the words weeping

weeping for me.
weeping,
as they should have

lied next to you
unscathed by
the damage of time

your room its sanctuary 
your eyes its believer
your reply its purpose

i lie on the bench
wishing for a reply
be it fast, or otherwise

maybe the rain
will carry it
into your lap

or maybe it is doomed
here, on this bench
to be forever

forgotten.
