I knew what letters I wanted to send
and what letters I never should have sent.
The ones I never should have loved
and the ones I should have loved harder.
Hugged longer.
Laughed louder.
I wanted to find my way
with you by my side.
I wanted to let them know how
much I cared.
But I didn’t always know how.
I didn’t know how to say
I love you.
I didn’t know how to show you
I cared.
So I retreated into myself.
And never gave away my heart.
I was scared it would be broken.
Scared it would be made fun of.
Scared it wouldn’t know what to do.
