Between the Lines

I tend to write cryptically, either in a literal or metaphorical code. It's a girl thing, apparently, or so I'm told. I reference song lyrics so that someone who knows the song will recognize it. Usually, the lyrics I'm relating to aren't the ones I reference. It's the ones right before or right after. Or I'm referencing the entire song, the feelings behind it. If I make a personal statement, like the letters I write here and elsewhere, they're for those who understand. Specific people. I write for those who care enough to try to understand. For those who read between the lines. For those who've felt the same things and find something between the lines to grab on to.
I write for the dreamers.
For the poets.
For the lost.
For me.

And occasionally, like now, I'll write for other people, too, to give them a glimpse inside this inner world I'm archiving.
