Unsent letters

My heart was young 
flirtatious 
all I could think about was you 
farming my grandparents fields 
sunkissed body 
glistening bronze 
a young girl's dream 
those summer nights 
I'd stay up writing letter after letter 
telling you how I felt 
wanting so much to ask you out, 
but didn't have the courage 
summer came to an end 
so did my letter writing 
when you vanished from view 
if only I would have sent you my letters 
maybe then 
just maybe 
you and me 
we might have been something
