The letter I left on your door

Suzy Park
Before you leave along this road of no return , Of no goodbyes or hellos or any of the kind , Before the blanket you liked becomes cold and abandoned , Read the letter I left on your door .
When hearts beat you in and out , And you feel as if you ’ re stuck , When the love you held becomes cereal crumbs on the table , You ’ ll want to cross the river , just like everyone else , But read the letter I left on your door .
Once , I asked where you want to go , You just smiled and said “ home ”. I ’ ve put the keys inside the envelope , And that blue paper you always liked .
A thousand pleas and a thousand “ if ” s Your phone is even turned off . But before the journey , before the depart , The letter still awaits , inside your flat , So read the letter I left on the door .
It may just change your mind .
