letter to you

pre-text: this is almost similar to my 'i write poems'...i guess i am that boring and rigid. hah! i came up with this when i was contemplating if i should call or write to this someone i had to get thru to. in the end, i wrote out what i would have sent out in the mail...and said it out loud. best of both worlds i guess! :)

i write letters
i write a letter to you
because what i say always comes out wrong
my inner voice says one thing
and i hear something different come out of my mouth

i write letters
because i can see my thoughts on paper
review them and make sure they confer
i want what i feel and think inside
be expressed exactly the way it is

I write letters
because words get held back by my pride
maybe I am a little shy
or maybe I am just scared
usually because they come out too quick

i write letters
because i get sidetracked talking to you
by you, by my random spurts of emotions, by my tears
i have all these things racing in my mind
and i want to share them with you

i write letters
so my word is in writing
so i don't know the expressions and reactions you have when you read it
i write you a letter
so you can keep it and think of me.
