for the both of us

a letter

To my dearest,

The one I think about at night,

The one I miss the most;

The one who'll receive this letter I write.

I've been meaning to tell you things;

All the thoughts that fill my head,

And I fear that if they're not said,

I'll be left with my soul dead.

So I write this letter to you,

To say everything there is to say,

Like no matter how hard I try,

I just can't stay away.

I hope that you find this on your doorstep,

Maybe on your porch where you kissed me;

I hope you'll read this and you'll find,

That my thoughts haven't set me free.

So this is goodbye,

At least, for a while.

Just know that I'll always be waiting,

Silently dreaming of your smile.
