The Letter I Never Posted

To the friend i lost,

Putting friendship at cost,

It was just about the letter,

The letter i never posted.

 

Under the bed, was the box.

Brassy yellow was its lock,

Searching for something old,

Box was what i caught hold.

 

The box was now open,

Memories were now unpack,

It was like time-travel,

With pictures giving flashback.

 

Box made memories treasure,

And eyes were full of pleasure,

Found a crumpled envlope in corner,

Only to reveal a piece of paper.

 

Reading through the paper,

Memories took a u-turn,

tears rolled down the eyes,

And my heart began to burn.

 

What i had done?

The letter filled me with guilt,

That friendshp was nowhere,

On trust which was built.

 

A little argument we had,

About which movie to go,

It would turn out this bad,

We both didnt know.

 

With all the love and courage,

In that piece of paper,

I wrote about the memories,

We had made together.

 

I was about to post the letter,

When i saw your giggle and chatter,

With the people of like and taste,

We both used to bitterly hate.

 

I staggered on my way back,

Missed the friend i now lack,

But now this all didn't matter,

I decided not to post the letter.

 

To lost friend, it was addressed,

With love, it was caressed,

It was just a letter,

The letter i never posted.

Great! You made it for 15 minutes.

When it comes to the concept, this so emotional. Sometimes, we cannot tell personally what's inside our hearts so we write it. But still, it has never been posted...
