The Other Person

I wrote letters to you
About how much i loved you
About how glad i am to know you
About how at night i dreamt of you
And how in the morning i prayed for you

I wrote letters to you
About the rhythmic beating of my heart
And how it spelt out your name
As if my brain knew you

I wrote letters to you
Epistles and odes
I wrote you a song
In riddles and rhymes
I denounced my pride

I wrote you a letter
And waited upon you
I watched as the owls flew past my house with nothing, not even a line
I watched the mailman ride past my house, i even placed a box as big as my house

I wrote you a letter
But you didn’t reply,
did i use all the words of the alphabet?
Did i buy all the papers from the market?
Or maybe did you forget how to spell?
Did you not have a quarter to spare?

I wrote you a letter
Of how much i love you
Do you not love me too?

Do you not-
Oh wait! Shit! I forgot to send it.
Forget what i said
