I'm tired.

Thoughts.

I’m tired,  

Tired of writing about my love for you 

Tired of writing about you, period. 

You know, I’m just not going to write about you. 

It does no good, it just reinforces my love for you. 

I’m sure you don’t write about me. 

I just want to forget about you. 

If I ever write about you again, it’ll be too soon. 

Yes, that’s what I’ll do. 

First thing tomorrow morning. 

And maybe the next day too. 

Besides, you have probably stopped writing about me too. 

First thing in the morning. 

That's what I’ll do. 

Oh hell, 1:03 am it’s too late to start this morning. 

I’ll have to start tomorrow morning after this morning. 

There I feel better already. 

I now have a plan.

My reaction. Made me think of a Kinks' song which might had said this instead.

"So Tired, tired of writing'
tired of writing for you
I was a lonely poet
I had nobody till I met you,
Now, you keep a me writing
writing to and for you."

[Randall]

Thank you, Jacob. Went to Spotify, looked up the Kinks. I haven't found the song you are referring to yet will keep looking. But I did recognize a few of their songs from my younger days. Randall...

I know this type of writing and the angst of it. Strong sincere and powerfully written. I like the end because it is tortured but optimistic

[Randall]

Thank you, Eddie. You always need a plan. It may not work, but you still need one.
