Unread Letter

[Intro: Gentle acoustic fingerpicking, slow and reflective] (Am G F C) [Verse 1: Quiet, tender voice with a nostalgic tone] I found it in a drawer, folded neat and tight, A piece of you preserved in the fading light. The words you never spoke, sealed in time and tears, An unread letter that still lingers here. [Chorus: Voice rises with emotion, guitar maintains soft picking] An unread letter, a story untold, A heart left waiting, a love grown cold. Every line I’ll never read whispers through my mind, What would it have said, if I'd opened it in time? [Instrumental Break: Soft acoustic melody, delicate picking transitions] [Verse 2: Voice deepens, reflecting on regret] Your name is on the paper, a ghost from yesterday, Every curve of your hand pulls me further away. I trace the lines of ink, but I can't bear the pain, Of knowing what I lost, what I can't regain. [Chorus: Voice swells slightly, guitar strumming gently accents key lines] An unread letter, a story untold, A heart left waiting, a love grown cold. Every line I’ll never read whispers through my mind, What would it have said, if I'd opened it in time? [Bridge: Stripped back, voice and soft fingerpicking only] Did you write of sorrow, did you write of hope? Was it an apology, or a way to cope? I'll never know your words, or what they meant to say, The silence speaks louder as the years slip away. [Final Chorus: Emotional peak, guitar gently strummed with a growing rhythm] An unread letter, a story untold, A heart left waiting, a love grown cold. Every line I’ll never ever read whispers through my mind, What would it have said, if I'd opened it in time? [Outro: Fingerpicking fades softly, leaving a lingering sense of reflection]
