Love Letter

Love Letter

I've been lying here for hours
Wondering what to say
I thought I might send flowers
Coloured bright and gay

I'm clutching your last letter
With words of your bright love
Each new word is better
Like laughter from above

I read so many times
Your letter so sublime
Emotions like pure chimes
To waste them is a crime

I waited for the postman
Startled when he came
Arriving in his red van
He started down my lane

I opened up my front door
And welcomed in his hoard
Found letters just to bore
And one from you, my Lord

I quickly cracked the seal
Took in your richly praise
I missed the evening meal
At your letter I did gaze

I've been lying here for hours
Wondering what to say
I thought I might send flowers
Coloured bright and gay

Now I know the gift I'll send
I'll send myself to you
Our love today will never end
This ever-lasting brew
