The Letter

The words I wanted to use escape me as I sit with pen in hand. 
This isn't an ultimatum and I'm not drawing a line in the sand. 
I wanted to write you a letter to tell you how I feel. 
I'm trying to tell you I'm sorry as my tears hopefully reveal.
 
I wish I was some kind of professor or had a PhD. 
Maybe then you would understand or even believe in me. 
I know my limitations, I'm not the smartest man. 
I don't remember the details or even how it all began. 

I'm sure if I used the right words I could explain my heart. 
My love for you is forever and can never be torn apart. 
You are the part of me that makes me a better person. 
Whenever we aren't together I feel pain that continues to worsen. 

I hate to give up or quit, but I'm not able to write this letter. 
I guess I'll just try a hug because that always makes you feel better.
