My dearest

My dearest

That’s how the letters start

My dearest

My dearest

My dearest

Just two words can melt the cold, bitter place in my heart

My dearest lover

My dearest companion

My dearest friend

That’s all you have to say and I will pick up a pen

The contents of your letter

Give me hope

The contents of your letter act as if you spoke

Your letters speak of you

It’s not lonely because it’s what I want to hear

Your letters are you

I like it

They ask of me too

That’s all you have to say

That’s all you have to do to make me pick up a pen

And I will write to you again

Yours

Yours truly

Yours forever

Yours sincerely

That’s how it is

That’s how it ends

Just those words make me want to write again

Call desperation

But it’s really a longing

I like to hear from you

I like to hear from you again and again and again

Yours

That’s all you have to write

And I will pick up a pen to write to you again and again and again
