Addressed (e)Me

There is a box
That I keep in my closet
Full of letters unsent

Letters unsent
Addressed to me

This Small box
Hidden in my closet
Buried under old clothes
I keep it secret
Just like I keep you
Buried in my heart
Safe

Inside this box
A stack of envelopes
All of them piled together
All of them addressed to me

I write you letters, you know
Every now and then
And put them in this box
Because I know I cannot send them
But I need to remember, then

I write these letters
To let you know how I feel
To tell you that I care
To remind you that I think

I write these letters
To remind you what you are.

I put these letters in a box
This small box
Hidden in my closet
Buried underneath old clothes
I keep it secret
Just like you
Buried in my heart

Safe
