Each night I write a letter

Each night I write a letter to the owner of my heart
A letter I shall never try to send
I try to write my feelings but I haven’t got the art
To make a perfect lover from a friend
Each night I find my heartstrings stretched around the silver Moon
But only write a pretty phrase or two
I want to sound like Shakespeare not an ignorant buffoon
I need the words to make the world brand new
Tonight I’ll write a sonnet filled with love in every line
Then read my words aloud to no-one there
Perhaps they’ll sound like laughter with a taste of summer wine
And finally I’ll find the strength to dare
To send my love a letter that will never change her mind
Though maybe she will see the way I feel
I’ve told her she’s the only girl I’d ever want to find
But I’ll love her as my friend if that’s the deal
