You Asked

Only when I can’t hold it in, do I write.
Only when I want to share it, do I write.
Only for da things I can’t reach, do I write.
You asked and this is why do I write.

Feeling for you that you don’t completely know, is why I write.
A thing that I want to do with and to you, is why I write.
Thoughts that will blow your mind, is why I write.
You asked me and this is why I write.

Only for your ears are my words, so I write
That reflects da times we spend together, so I write.
Hand in hand enwrapped in each other, so I write.
You asked so I write.

So far away do we stand at each other, therefore I write.
Yet so close da we don’t touch one another, therefore I write.
Which is now how we connect on all different levels, therefore I write.

Now that u know, why I write.
You shouldn’t have to ask, why I write.
