	Letters
	Got a letter the other day Turned my day into late afternoon sunshine Made me want to take a walk, And contemplate the kindness of life.
	Got a letter the other day Which said everything, meticulous and exact. Made me want to find a rock and perch myself upon it. To cry womanly tears that need a hand to catch them and a voice of reason in the background.
	Got a letter the other day Signed "Your friend". Made me wonder about the exact nature of our relationship. If you have to spell it out in those terms, maybe we're chasing an illusion.
	Got a letter the other day Reminded me of letters we wrote in years past. Made me want to look for them in an old box. To read them and wonder how I didn't see how much you loved me.
