Letter Poem by Chester Floyd Minami

Smile I'm looking at you
I look in your eyes and
I see you are searching for a sign

I wrote a letter intended for you
Don’t let anyone read it for it’s exclusive for you
I wrote a letter because I have something to let you know
Something awkward but this is something you should know
This is my something expresses my love for you
Yah, I’m in love with you,
I am your someone who is loves you sincerely
Don’t wonder if I did not tell this my something personally
For I am saving energy to tell it soon personally
For me it is the best way
For a taciturn like me
For a timid like me love always pass away
I often let my love go unexpressed because of timidity

My past
All the words were in my heart
They went unspoken
Now she is gone my silent heart a heart that's broken
I should said so many things
Should let her know she is the one I needed near me
But I never let her hear me
I’ve learned of my past that letting love unexpressed brings nothingness to me

Thinking what I would write to convince you
I should have told you how I felt then
Instead of writing
I don't let my love go unexpressed
Before it is too late
Old story never happen again

So tomorrow is the day of giving my letter
So you better prepare
One pail
One handkerchief
For I am sure your tears will shed
Don’t think so much let your heart decide
Of what you don't know
