Envelope Of Promise

It all started from an envelope
An envelope of promise to return.
Everyday a lady loved so dear by a young man
Is waiting for a letter in the mailbox.

Rain or shine, not a week passed
That a letter in an envelope is not delivered.
Until one day and a week passed
And not a single letter was dropped in the box.
Wondering what could have possibly happened to the male beau
The young lady sent a letter to her lover
But she received no reply.

Many weeks passed and the young lady got sick.
More weeks passed and the expectant lady spent days in bed.
She lost her appetite for everything.
She lost weight and was sleepless in many nights.

Until one day she received a letter from the mailbox.
An envelope of promise that she long waited.
Finally her energy went back.
And each morning she has won her life back.
