found an old letter
the other day.
back from a time when letters were written by hand.
it was from B.
it was a friendly letter thanking me
for having been so nice.
it was a simple letter full of warm wishes
for the future.
wow,how I wished it would have been more than that.
there was a promise to keep writing.
but I knew very well that wasn't going to happen
although I'm pretty sure I answered.
I am a bit of a fool like that.
Anyway, I wasn't sure what to do about that letter.
Throw it away?
no, I didn't.
I saved it.
I placed it back in the envelope
very carefully.
and back to the drawer it went.
with its contents full of "how are u?"s.
and "it was so much fun".
maybe in a few years I'll read it again.
