a special occasion

To whom it may concern:

I no longer have need for this room.
Do with it what you will.
Do not hesitate to strip the walls of the decorative picture frames.
I never really lived here anyway.

I no longer have need for my personal library.
Borrow anything without returning it.
Do not worry about the sentimental or monetary value of my collection.
I never read any of it anyway.

I no longer have need for these old letters.
Read them if you must.
Do not feel bad about throwing them into the fire or tearing them and shoving them in a garbage bag.
I kept them far too long anyway.

I no longer have need for any of the items in my closet.
Take from it what you want.
Do not think twice about simply dumping my clothes straight into the trash or donating them to a worthy cause.
They were never me anyway.

But I am keeping the black dress.
I think I have use for it yet.
