The Letter

Stop right now and listen to

What I have always wanted to say to you

I remember long ago

When I was young, and you were not as old as now

Life was easy to believe in

And that is why I've swallowed every single word

You've pushed into my mouth

And made me spit them out as if they were mine

If you're the one who knows it all

Why have you never bothered to know how I feel?

Why don't you ever call me?

Why don't you ever ask me, "How are you today?"?

When, when other people ask me

I say, "I'm fine, thank you, but I can't talk right now"

I'm waiting for another call

To hear, "No matter what, I love you so"
