The letter finally came
The world won't mind to wait for 'death' when it might be late
But complains to wait for the 'love'
Because what enough they got is hate
Explanation for the journey which made them wait
Just like the attorney, when their lover is late
Downpour of criticism again brought despair
The flood of memories taking a chair
"Knock knock" Sounded the door at my place
And I had to return from that nostalgic phase
Believing it could be any normal order I placed
Of any materialistic thing until an hour ago I chased
The senders address? and my heart raced
I wished it could be anyhow erased
Opened the seal and picked up the letter
Knowing that either it would be worst or maybe better
The same scent with the same ability to shatter
Alphabets dwindled and began to scatter
From the miles I moved on, moved back the miles to me the same
2 words, 8 letters and I crumbled to burn like a flame
"Dear Ziva" , After the ages it felt like my own name
From the miles 'The letter finally came'
"Isn't it too late?, what a matter of shame"
I avert those words from coming again
When, from the miles 'The letter finally came'
