Love Letters by Melodie Yvonne

I’m writing these letters to you
‘Cause I just don’t know what else to do
And all of these things in my head
Are all the things I should have said
Each letter I set on this page
Makes another love word to engrave
On the tree trunk that roots to my heart
From the corner of my mind’s childhood yard

Each letter of love I write here
Hope they find their way to your ears
Hope they find their way to your heart
So torn paper won’t tear us apart

So I’m writing these letters to you
‘Cause I still don’t know what else to do
I can’t eat and now I can’t sleep
Lurid pictures of you in my mind on repeat
And I know that these thoughts are a sin
But I just can’t help longing again
For just one more chance with your charms
And one more goodbye in your loving arms

Each letter of love I write here
Hope they find their way to your ears
Hope they find their way to your heart
So torn paper won’t tear us apart
