I apologize sincerely.
For all the days I left you in my closet to gather dust at the edge of your perfectly trimmed seams.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I promise on the heart of a true female. I had high hopes for you and I.
You were on sale, a price I could not resist and well, you looked so lovely on me, I had to buy you.
The future of you and I flashed before my eyes as I handed the cashier my check card and she bagged you in crisp plastic.
The places we would go together. Parties, weddings, baby showers, holidays, balls. All the places a dress like you deserved to go to.
But I let you down.
I never knew it would lead to this. Your lonely, dark days in a closet where you were pushed aside for other pieces of clothing.
Unloved, unworn.
I didn't forget about you and the dreams we once held together. Me, spinning around in the most elegant dress a girl could imagine, folds of fabric flashing before star struck eyes. Things just didn't go the way I planned.
Don't take it personally when I put you in the charity bin.
There is someone better for you out there. Someone who will fulfill the promises I never could.
It's not you, it's me.
All my love.
Sincerely,
A girl with nowhere to go
Oh my gosh I hate this! Because I have a dress like this as well. It was just *so* beautiful and such a good price... yet I never go anywhere that warrants me keeping it. Ugh! What's an introverted girl to do?

ReplyDeleteThis is too good! haha I think we've all had our own "little black dress." I know I have! It's such a sad day when you get rid of it, but you have to be honest with yourself.
