Their Replies

They collected the letters to return. 
Worthless papers full of love and hate -  
Tracing their affection to its peak and 
Gradual decline to hate from there. 

Both of them forgot who wrote first;
Even the oldest traceable letter seemed like a reply.
Neither of them wanted to be the one who began it,
So they started calling their letters ‘replies’. 

After all, even the first letter was
A reply to what the other didn’t say … .
