Your letters spoke

I still have all of your letters
All those confused little notes

The ink on those papers spoke
With a loud voice they wrote

You wanted help and love
You needed affection and strength

Carried on with your jibber jabber
And nobody would listen

But

I still have all your letters
All of your sadness and confusion
I still have those notes

The ink on them cried tears
The words on those papers choked

You wanted sense out of sadness
You wanted to understand hypocrisy and madness

But

Mostly you just wanted love.

I still have all of those letters.
I read and listened to the voice that they spoke

I know it wasn't jibber jabber
I know exactly what you felt.

And... I love you. 
 
And here is my letter back. 
 
Don't ever stop carrying on
Don't ever give up on love
Don't ever change who you are
Don't let others walk all over you
Don't stop speaking
Let your voice be heard
Even if it's sad or angry
Someone will hear it.
Cause I know I still have all those notes...
