I'M Writing To You Out of Habit
I’m writing to you out of habit -
Daily joy or a duty of my heart.
I can’t deny it – desired and favorite,
A nice pursuit when we are apart.
You read my letters out of habit -
Daily joy or politeness of you,
Something nice to a morning omelet
Or to a cup of tea – it may be true…
You don’t answer me out of habit -
You’re unconventional or impolite,
Or not in the habit of being intimate.
It may be too big an effort to write…
Yet, I’m writing to you out of habit -
It’s a real joy and a duty of my heart.
I can’t deny it – desired and favorite,
A nice pursuit when we are apart…
