the saga of the lost love letter

Unopened letter lost in the mail

Sam Adams
Received a letter one day
A letter that remained
“UNOPENED”

For several weeks
As he contemplated the contents
And how to respond
To his ex-college girlfriend
Who had sent him the letter

After he had sent her a letter
Telling her that he had met
The one for him

in her letter to him
she confessed her love
for him
asking him to return home
to finally be with her

He read the letter
To his fiancé
And responded to the letter
Telling his ex-girlfriend
that it was over between them
he was now getting married.

He sent the letter
But she never responded
for she never received
the letter

And that was the end
Of the saga
Of the letter
That got lost
In the mail.
