maybe i should write back
you sent a message to which i never replied
even so i’d tell you a thousand lies
in reality, i cut you off and i don’t know why

maybe i should write back
cause you always had the best jokes
always had that charming knack
but never got to meet my folks

maybe i should write back
maybe the stars lost their shine
connecting planets in a thin line
a gossamer thread; the universe’s spine

maybe i should write back
i feel guilty just watching
hoping you’ll look and catch me gawking
i hope in my absence you continue talking

maybe i should write back
instead of leaving pages torn
in love was wear i had sworn
that i’ll walk because i was born

i’ll send you a message with no tact
no heart, no emotion, just paper flat
making excuses for the bravery i lack
maybe i should write a letter back
