La Carta

Oh my word 
She did it 
She did it 
She sent him a letter with a gift 
A gift with a letter she has written years ago 
Now she wondered if she should have included the letter 
She stopped re reading it because, well then she might not send it 
It was something that she felt she had to say 
But she wondered 
Was it one of those things that you have to say on paper
And never really hand in? 
Or hand to? 

Geez 
What will he think once he reads it?
Will he confirm what she already knows?
That she’s a socially awkward weirdo 
That more often than not she has said things she still questions 
Not sure what to do 
Not sure what to say 
At least not in person 
Letters can be her escape 

Alas it was something she wanted to say 
It was a point she wanted to make 
Something she needed to say 
Not just for him 
But for her too 
Because at this stage in her life 
She has learned 
That certain things 
Should not be left unsaid 

No more what ifs

It's a Go


This time, she has to be brave
she has to put on her big girl underwear 
and go forward 

With out knowing what will happen 
she's going to do it
Have that inevitable talk 
"what are we?"

She shakes in her leggings 
unsure of what to expect 
and yet hopeful at the same time 

She's going to go for it
before she can turn around 
she presses the green button on her phone 
and says "hey...I'm here..."
waiting patiently at the door...
