Unwriteable

I've been writing since 5th grade, but for some reason, when it comes to you, I don't know what happens. There is always a break down whenever anything written passes from you to me. A note, a text, anything I write to you. I suppose that, following that line, this is going to go terribly wrong, but I'm not worried about that right now.

It just sucks that I can't seem to put anything in a text format without it being misunderstood, misread, misinterpreted, mis-any-other-word. I don't know what to do. I called the other day, but you didn't pick up and I couldn't leave a message.

It's so... irritating. We've known each other for so long and yet at every turn in which written words -- digital or otherwise -- appear: misunderstanding. Constant like the rise of the sun and the ebb of the tide. I wish I could make myself understood whenever I deign to attempt saying more than "yes" or "no" or typing a location like "downtown", "home" or "work".

What would it take? How long before things I write and clearly understood in the way I want them to be? I might as well be waiting for an Amtrak train to pass by my house...

At least, that's how I feel when I feel so hopelessly inept in communicating with you effectively in my writing. It's not that I can't write or communicate a point; I made A's in English most of my life. I just can't make my written words work with you. At all. Where am I failing? God only knows.

As for me, I'm completely clueless.
