To Dust In The Wind who wrote Loner Boy

Honey I want you to know.

Words that phrase our thoughts before we can even speak.

Time won't permit us to write, but we can only proceed.

We can't change others.

Maybe someone hurt her like someone hurt me.

Not the the bruises or backslap of words, but something else

Hair that flashes in the light might scare her.

She could've had an abuser with red hair.

Hell I don't even know if she was abused.

All we can do for heaven sake is love one another.

You won't ever read this.

I might never speak words aloud to you.

We won't ever get to know one another.

But lonely boy, your poems your words

everything offering you place upon the board of desires

is there for the world to read.

I'm searching for a person who is lonely like me who likes poem

But I still haven't found them

It has taken years and I still haven't found a lock to the door which stays stuck.

I once saw a beautiful man while driving in another state.

Our eyes connected for a second and I thought my world changed perspectives in the blink of an eye.

Honey we don't know what can change us.

I don't know if my words could even place a meaning on your broken heart.

Love tears us down.

But darling, poetry came out because of it.

I didn't know how to write poetry until I fell down with the worst of the worst. 

We can always change.

Heres to you.
