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