Love Letter
Unspoken Longing: A Love Letter Sealed Without a Kiss
Lyrics
How I'd love to say
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings.
Let me count the ways
Contemplating the various ways to express love.
But it's not quite right
Feeling that the expression is not perfect or accurate.
I can't see the light
Experiencing a sense of darkness or uncertainty.
When you're outta sight
Feeling lost or incomplete when the loved one is not present.
So I try to write
Attempting to convey feelings through writing.
Love letter sealed without a kiss
Describing a love letter without a physical expression.
You're the one that I miss
Expressing a yearning for the missed loved one.
Love letters never write themselves
Highlighting the effort required in writing love letters.
So take this with a kiss
Requesting the recipient to accept the letter with a kiss.
Write it on the back
Suggesting an unconventional surface for writing the letter.
Of an old match pack
Choosing a nostalgic item to write the message.
From a little place we used to like
Referencing a place with sentimental value.
On the lower east side
Specifying a location on the lower east side.
But it's still not right
Expressing dissatisfaction with the written message.
So I put the pencil down
Deciding to stop writing with a pencil.
Hands upon the keys
Transitioning to typing on a keyboard.
See what just comes out naturally
Allowing thoughts to flow naturally through typing.
Can't hide it in a book
Emphasizing the inability to hide feelings in a book.
Shoebox under the bed
Mentioning a shoebox as a common hiding place.
So if I sing it right, you'll never lose this
Believing that singing the message ensures its permanence.
Love letter sealed without a kiss
Reiterating the idea of a love letter without a kiss.
You're the one that I miss
Expressing the longing for the missed person.
Love letters never write themselves
Stating that love letters require active effort.
So take this with a kiss
Asking the recipient to accept the letter with a kiss.
How I'd love to say
Repeating the desire to express love.
Let me count the ways
Reiterating the contemplation of various ways to express love.
But it's not quite right
Reiterating the feeling that the expression is not perfect.
I can't see the light
Reiterating the sense of darkness or uncertainty.
When you're outta sight
Repeating the feeling of incompleteness without the loved one.
So I start to write
Resuming the attempt to convey feelings through writing.
Love letter sealed without a kiss
Reiterating the concept of a love letter without a kiss.
You're the one that I miss
Reiterating the yearning for the missed loved one.
Love letters never write themselves
Reiterating that love letters require active effort.
So take this with a kiss
Repeating the request to accept the letter with a kiss.
