Have you ever known a person that would write letters in their head? Letters that express a lot more than just words, letters full of thoughts, letters which were never really thought out completely. Have you ever been the kind of a person who wrote these letters to someone in your head? Like to someone you know that's far away, maybe an old friend, a grandparent, maybe someone you wish to reach out to...? I do that with you! I must have written you hundreds of letters by now, while in real life I think I may have written very few.
I write you in my head and hope that you write back to me and there's always something more I'd like to say, something I’d like to add, that I'd like to ask. But I never get there. I never seem to get there. When I go through a major change in my life, when I notice something random, when something bothers me or when I'm really happy and I start thinking I should write to you. But I almost never do. I plan out this beautiful, long novel of a letter while I wait for the train, while I cook dinner, while I read, while I hear the rain, while I think before I go to sleep. But they're never written, never sent, never known, and never said.
Just like this one!

I do that all the time... only...I write notes. Little notes about something I wanted to tell you. Something I wanted to say. I spend ages figuring out the exact words... and before I know it, I have forgotten what I was writing.
