The Letter

If i ever write this letter 
the pages i could write 
but i don't know where to send it 
you have vanished 
heaven knows where you live 
heaven only knows 
If i ever write this letter 
bitter words it would contain 
just and unrequited lover 
wishing she had never 
spoken your name 
had never known your name 
But if i ever write this letter 
the truth it would reveal 
knowing you brought me pleasure 
how i'll often treasure 
moments that we knew 
the precious, the few
