Letters For You Lyrics

"I had the same thing a few years ago, after your mum and I got divorced." The sun shimmered off the egg and beans on his plate. "I wouldn't know why, or what made me do it, but I would check to see she if was okay."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. And I knew it was pointless, that's the thing: I didn't - don't - matter to her anymore." Through the window behind him stood a snow-capped mountain, a mile high and ancient. It had seen all of this before.

"Exactly." I replied with a mouth half full of hash brown, "And the thing is, I really don't have any feelings for her anymore. It was just that picture…"

"Uh huh."

"Seeing her getting on with her life. It's just a weird feeling. I know I've done it: I've had other partners, I've moved around and done different things. It's just weird to thin-"

"To think that she can exist without you."

"Yeah."

"I get that. But that's just the way it goes. Life goes. Someone that meant so much to you once becomes a memory."

More coffee? Yes please.

"I suppose." Squinting at my watch "I'll just never know if she ever even thinks about it. Thinks about me."

The bill came to $24.40.
