Worth Writing Home About

Dear Mama,

I’ve met a girl.

Not just any girl.

A great girl.

No, I don’t want to marry her

I mean, maybe if I could.

But not in a – let’s have babies – kind of way

In a – her soul mirrors a piece of mine – type of way

You see, Mama

She called me the other day,

We just joked

gossiped

talked to our hearts content,

But when it was over she said,

‘Okay, I love you, I’ll call you later’

You see, Mama

We didn’t talk for a while,

And I thought,

Maybe I had done something wrong.

I knew she was busy, and so was I

but I couldn’t get the thought out of my head, that

maybe she had realized I’m too much,

And decided to move on

But she called me later

And when she went to hang up she said,

‘Okay, I love you, I’ll call you later’

You see, Mama,

We see each other all the time,

and even if it’s one a month or once a week,

it feels like we never missed a day.

It doesn’t matter where we go

Or What we do

but when I get out of the car she says,

‘Okay, I love you, I’ll call you later’

You see, Mama

She’s worth writing home about

She’s worth making sure you know her name

Because I’ll be talking about her all the time.

She’s worth writing home about

Because she thinks I’m worth knowing,

Worth loving.

So you see, Mama,

I met a girl.

Okay, I love you. I’ll call you later.
