How many times.


How many times will I write this letter to you?
Why can't I just walk up to you
And tell you a secret?
A small but powerful secret that cannot be spoken
But only written
 
It's not that I can't talk oh God no,
I just see you as a doe in the woods. 
Magestic, Beautiful, Fragile. 
I'm just worried I'll scare you away,
And you'll never come back.
 
How many times will I write this letter to you?
Why can't I just walk up to you
Hold you close and look into your almond eyes
To tell you "I want to be with you forever."

Not really much to say, I just like to write when my pen fails to draw. I enjoy Star Trek and horror movies in my spare time.
