Love Letter

I loved you, and I never told you. I was jealous of your love for my sister, but now you are gone.

We could have danced among the stars in heaven, you and I. We could have soared across the sky. And if you flew too close to me, I wouldn’t mind.

During the day, we’d fly away. I’d hide you safe in my embrace until my sister went away. Then over the evening sky we’d grace.

Dear sweet Icarus, I will always love you though you are gone. My lovely Icarus, if only I had told you before too long.
