DEAR JOHN

 

I sit and write this letter

to a man who's far away

Wondering how I can tell him

that I have gone astray

I know that I will lose him

when I tell him the truth

Can I blame it on to loneliness

or maybe on to my youth

 

We were first best friends then

later lovers we became

My life was planned and I thought

that things would stay the same

Now I know what lonely hours

combined with drink can do

Just because I was weak then

now I must write to you

 

The child we always wanted

will now never come to be

For this child that I now carry

was not made by you and me

These words do not come easy

as I chew upon my pen

However I have to write this letter

and to you my true love send.
