The Letter

Sent the last letter today
watched as it rolled away.

Put it in the box at the ROSS post,
sealed it tightly; wrote the most.

Mailman came, made a joke,
tall, black man; a lively bloke.

Walked out the store and out the door,
the letter on his buggy, I'll see it no more.

My heart quenched, ached, wanted to grab it away.
My love will get it a different day.

The last letter before I leave,
and the last one he will receive.
