These days,
it takes only seconds
to tell someone
that you love them.
Before, people had to endure
the waiting
of a letter
by dove or by sea
to arrive
wondering
what words were written for them
words of love
words of rejection
How did they live with that long ache?
Although, as I'm sitting here now
I realize
I too am waiting
for any words from you.
It is hard.
But for love
But for you
I would wait for doves and ships.
