Do Not Read That Letter

La la la la la ...
 
I waited for you until midnight.
But hell, what could you be doing?
At midnight, furious, I wrote to you
at a moment of great anger.
 
Absolutely do not read that letter.
Absolutely, absolutely do not read
all that I put down in there.
No, I was not thinking.
 
My letter posted immediately.
I saw the error of my deed.
Words fade away with time.
On the other hand, written words last.
 
Absolutely do not read that letter.
Absolutely, absolutely do not read
all that I put down in there.
No, I was not thinking.

Absolutely do not read that letter.
Absolutely, absolutely do not read
all that I put down in there.
No, I was not thinking.
 
You might figure out by reading it
that I at last love you
even more impossibly than before—
if you read it anyway.
 
Absolutely do not read that letter
in order to prevent me from crying.
You have to—you have to promise me
that you're going to tear it up.
 
So, as to this adventure,
we will talk about it with a laugh.
And everything, and everything I swear to you
will return to what it was.
 
So, as to this adventure,
we will talk about it with a laugh.
And everything, and everything I swear to you
will return to what it was.
 
La la la la la ...
