The letters never written

They all admitted their hands had opened a piece of paper that no one had ever touched.

They admitted they had read a piece of paper that had never been thought of.

They admitted they had accepted the rules of a letter that never existed — or did it?

And they all thought it was given by a young boy they had seen in childhood,
but no one remembered his name, or where he had slept.

No one knew a single piece of memory about him,
but what they all agreed on was the existence of a letter
that had never been written before.
