Do you know feelings?

That eat your gut?

That horrible, but wonderful passion?

Have you ever felt that!

When you send that first letter

Your heart skips a beat

Unknowingly sending your love

Into the breeze

Thinking

This will go well

What could be wrong

With the letter of a simple love song

No

For me, it never goes well

Ignore the fact that the letter returned shredded

Wanting to know someone never felt so dreaded

I care about what happens

I want to know who did

How can one dismiss it like breathing air

It is just for us

It's important it makes it

She sure doesn't

How can I like something so unwilling

And yet I'm going to start the conversation

Why do I try

It's because I still care

It's just air
