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.
