dear mercury,
we were so young
we didn't know what love meant
but that didn't matter
we wanted it bad
and maybe we had it
it's been too long to remember
i hope you're doing well.
yours, mae.
-
dear venus,
you were so out of my league
i wanted you so bad
nothing ever happened
but you can't deny that
sometimes
you looked my way and smiled
at least a couple times
thank you for being nice to me.
yours, mae
-
dear earth,
you were so new to me
i never thought that
me
someone so invisible
could have so much in common
with you
someone so incredible
someone that makes everyone happy they exist
we need more people like you in the world
that is why you're earth
so beautiful yet trashed and treated badly
i miss you.
yours, mae.
-
dear mars,
you were hot to the touch
you cared so much about the people around you
perhaps too much
i'm sorry that came between us.
yours, mae.
-
dear saturn,
i told you everything about me
you hid from any form of personal matter
it's a shame you never came clean.
yours, mae.
-
dear uranus,
i regret you.
not, and never will be yours, mae.
-
dear neptune,
i thought i was so in love with you
when you were around writing was effortless
the words came so easily
then you left
and so did my inspiration.
yours, mae.
-
dear pluto,
of course i saved you for last
you're not like the others
when you talk to me
your laugh and smile are genuine
not many people care about you
but i do
a lot
i love you pluto.
always yours, mae.
