i believe
that you can tell a lot about a person
by the number of email drafts in their inbox;
the number of times they had words to say but soon thought better of it
and retreated back into the silence;
the number of times their heart and soul were screaming,
begging to be heard,
but were soon vanquished with the click of one shiny "X"
or a backspace button;
the number of times they opened the closet
to pull out a skeleton,
only to come to their senses
and shut it back in again.
i believe that you can tell a lot about a person
by the number of email drafts in their inbox.
but maybe that's just me.
i tend to dwell on unsaid words.
(a.m.)
i was logged into my email and saw that a lot of my drafts were new messages with nothing in them. i had thought of something to send, then thought better of it, and i began to wonder what i had wanted to say at those moments.
