The long awaited mail,
that did not come,
and the teen aged girl,
beautiful and naughty,
turned in an old lady.
Her beauty was lost,
still there was a grace on her face.
Her naughtiness was stolen by her grandchildren.
While she was playing with them,
the postman came and delivered a letter to her,
an envelope from the post office,
with a covering letter,
regretting they took sixty years,
to locate the addressee,
whose address was not correctly written on it.
It had another envelope inside it,
and in that was a pink paper,
someone has replied her,
"I love you, too."
Two drops of tears fell down on it
and smell of tears merged
with the fragrance of pink paper.
Yes, it was lost in transit,
but,
its aroma was not lost!
A powerful and emotional piece.60 years disappear quickly but return even quicker
Extremely poignant. The irony lies in the affirmative reply from a lover to his beloved but the letter, due to an incomplete address, was delivered to the lady sixty years later. Beautifully crafted poem with an emotional denouement. Thanks for sharing.
