i love you and i really need to write you something special

instead of just going on and on
about
whatever happens to be running through
my head

let me give it some thought

what would you like to read

i've got a bunch of stuff
but none of it has worked itself into
anything
i do better when i have something
i'm trying to say
and
i've just been saying it
so i got no focus for all these wonderful little things
i'd sort of like to use somewhere

i'm just not sure
what would you like to read, really
not just something pretty
and not something all angsty
family saga
yuck
something
a story should tell you something about
life or truth or human nature or something
maybe
or
i don't know

why am i even mentioning this
now i totally have to write something
and i don't know what i'm doing
and that is why i'm writing this
cause otherwise
i totally won't

alright
i reserve the right
to write you a really good poem
but
i'm gonna try to write you a short story
