letters

i tried
writing you a letter
recently

but my heart
was leaping
out of my skin

and i couldn't
calm down
enough

to put pen
steadily
to paper

i don't understand
what you do
to me

i can't think
clearly
as i walk through
my day

because
the thought
of you and me

walks steadily
across my
brain

driving me insane
with hope
and possibility

oh be that one thing
good in my life

remind me
what living is for

remind me
that there's
something more

than darkness
