When I Send You a Letter

When I send you a letter
You don't always reply;
Would it maybe be better
To just bid you goodbye?

It is very frustrating
With each time that I write
That I have to be waiting
Through too many a night.

Now, we don't own each other
As you'll no doubt agree
But there isn't another
Who can bring me such glee.

But I want you to know
That in rain or in snow
We are long-distance friends
And that this never ends.

So please pardon my sorrow
At my being on 'hold'
For "There's always tomorrow,"
As I've often been told.

So in spite of my trauma
I'm still not placing blame
I shall spare you the drama
And just maintain the flame.
