It’s almost four decades old 
The story of this letter was never told 
You were in the north in the freezing cold 
Wrote it for me, about the love you hold

So that I read it well, you wrote in bold 
To be your better half, you cajoled
I felt the same, my heart was consoled 
In your warm hug I wanted to enfold 

I loved you always, was not very bold 
This love, remained within, untold 
Layers of my fondness began to unfold 
Happiness and tears gushed uncontrolled 

I miss you now, in the paths we strolled 
You left for a better place, my life slowed!
Time flew by, this envelope is 40 years old 
Looking at it, memories of that day paroled. 

I hope you liked it. Thanks for reading 😊
