A Letter To Lana Del Rey

I hope this letter doesn't end up being just another fan mail that goes unread
I hope it finds its way to you before the sunset

I hope you understand why I wrote it. I hope the purpose becomes clear
I hope when you read it. You'll find every word sincere

I could tell you that you are my favorite, but I don't want this to be a fan talking to a star
I want it to be a conversation between two human beings, but it's hard

not to tell you that your voice takes me to another place
or that every album leaves me amazed

I'd like to talk to you in person, maybe one day we could have coffee, or is that too optimistic?
My friends laugh at me cause I'm not realistic

but I'll send you this letter. Cross my fingers, and pray
That words could turn to birds, and birds would send my thoughts your way

Or maybe my fans can share this until it finds its way to your hands
Then maybe we can meet and make plans

This was originally a four lines poem, but I decided to get deep
I hope this is something you'll remember forever even if we don't meet
