Unsent Songtext

von Alanis Morissette

Dear Matthew
I like you a lot
I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that
I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future
And want to come visit me in California I would be open to spending time with you
And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song

Dear Jonathan
I liked you too much
I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves
And you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time
I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday

Dear Terrence
I love you muchly
You've been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive
And nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away
I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front
Of you for the first time
You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself
What was wrong with me

Dear Marcus
You rocked my world
You had a charismatic way about you with the women and you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get away with kicking me own ass
But I would never really feel relaxed and looked out for around you though
And that stopped us from going any further than we did
And it's kinda too bad because we could've had much more fun

Dear Lou
We learned so much
I realize we won't be able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do
You the long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could
We were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives
I will always have you back and be curious about you, about your career, your whereabouts
