This Is An Open Letter

Copyright Julia Bydulia.

For Kiri (Like Woah).

---

I consider me.

And I consider you.

--Every night, I sit around on the couch,
-idly flipping my phone open and shut,
open and shut, op--------en and shut.

In the day, too. I contemplate texting you
-and sending you the thoughts I usually
--keep locked up with good intentions
------------------------------------until I forget.

I consider me:
---struggling to keep my voice strong and crystal clear
---with doubts about my flaws and imperfections.

I consider you:
---striking poses and silly faces with unneeded explanations
---about just how attractive you really are.

---It's funny, because you mean to be sarcastic,
---but your words are woven through my memories
---and ring extraordinarily true.

You're a very sweet girl that--- finds herself
in bitter situations, just like ----anyone can.
---You're an honest girl with good intentions
---that I know will get you far.

----This poem and my wild thoughts
------might come on strong when I let you read them,
--------so I hope you can still stand me
----------by the time these words are through.

I consider me;
I consider you.
