I will write you every day
write the words I cannot say
and hope that they will find their way
to you and bring you near
close enough for words to do everything I need them to
I will spend each waking hour
counting seconds pacing floors
rehearsing what I ought to write
and finding ways to say
that life's so good
now that you're still mine and I am yours
Oh but what if words should fail
hearts and memories pale
how would we reach each other
and say for evermore
If all that would be left of us
were letters just gathering dust
and so far from sight
every word I ever write
