| @[c786813:34090] I left out the word 'write'. Just add it. Also the words "he won't write letters full of excuses" could also have deeper meaning than he isn't going to contact her. It could also be a declaration that he doesn't need to apologise or justify his position, | |

I think it’s about a woman who thinks she is more special to someone than she is. She thinks he is into her and he knows he is not; eg ‘not his shoes under your bed’” and “it’s all in your head.” He is in a committed relationship anyway, hence the words, “there is another standing in your place”. He is declaring/protesting that he hasn’t lead her on despite her wrong perceptions, eg “I won’t deceive you but tell you the truth”. Because she is not special to him (the bathroom mirror makes you look tall) like she thinks she is he is trying to convey to her the reality that he is not going to contact her, eg “he won’t letters full of excuses”. This would have been written in the late 80's or early to mid 90's. |
