26 letters

Twenty-six letters in the alphabet

Why do I have such a hard time communicating my thoughts
Heartfelt matters are often kept like preserves in a mason jar
Breaking free only when the pressure is too much to bear

Perhaps this is the best way for us to exchange our thoughts
A way for us to remain civil without contact
We just can't continue on like this

I hate that I can't see the expressions on you face
As I open doors with my words
Doors that have been closed for far too long
For too many reasons

I miss your touch and
how your pulse would quicken from just the heat of my hands

Still this may be the best and only tool I have to make you understand ...
I need you

It was never my intention to hurt you
and I could never find comfort in another
Not the soul settling kind that I have with you

We need to get back on track
I need to find my way home

[b]I just don't know what to do[/b]

26 letters in the alphabet and right now all I need are seven

I love you
