I said I will write a letter

But I don't know if it is any good

I am not acting clever

Neither wanna be misunderstood

 *********

I am gonna tell you a secret

I have met a person, at first a stranger

Then her being became sacred

and her absence bitter

  *********

I started writing on an old piece of paper

when I finally found a pen

I would wait, but I'm not sure inspiration can

Just so you know the importance of this letter

 *********

There is a dying candle in front

Some cards, an ashtray, a bar of chocolate

and a book entitled the art of happiness

and that's what she does,

I suppose

She makes people happy, I am a witness

 *********

I thought about her for a while before sleep

Yeah, that night I couldn't count the sheep

I was inspired, to put ink on paper

With this romantic atmosphere, it couldn't be easier

  *********

I didn't have to plan how to write this letter

I knew that words will flow

I like that I think about her as a stranger

This way I am excited to know more

  *********

Besides, she enlightens my smile,

Triggers my happy mood and kills my frown

I think I like her, I guess she likes me too

Maybe a little less or a little more than I do

 *********

Life is short to spend it with the wrong people

They're saying

She gets out the best in me..

I do the same, I'm hoping

If that's what it is about. Let it be..

  *********

Few things are said and there is more

I think I don't want her to be a stranger, not anymore

My candle is crying, please don't do the same

This is what it felt like and I thought I'd share

I don't know why I dare

Maybe I shouldn't have written this letter that way

It's not for me, it's for her anyway.
