OVERDUE LOVE LETTERS

You use to write me love letters.

You’d put so many beautiful words together.

I’d reread them and imagine us being together.

You won my mind and took my heart.

The chase was over, your prize discarded.

Never was it meant to be kept under lock and key.

A heart set free,

flies with butterflies for everyone to see.

I don’t cross your mind but you still cross mine.

I no longer receive love letters from you.

So out with the old.

New love letters are overdue.
