Letters
Last month I sent a letter in the mail
I sent it to your house
You haven’t written back yet
I guess you didn’t get it
So now I’m sending you a package
Of sticky notes
It weighs about a pound and this big
Maybe you’ll get that
I sent that box for an
overnight shipment
It’s been about a week
I guess you didn’t get it
This time
I’m sending you a box
It weighs about ten pounds
Now I know they can’t lose it
Hey, it’s been three weeks
I think they lost the box
So I’m sending you a note
In a Nike box, ‘cause that’s your favorite shoe
It’s been a little while
Four weeks to be exact
So I ordered your phone book
Now I’m sending you a text
Hi, it’s me, your best friend
I hope you don’t think
I’m a bad person because
You never got my letters
Maybe that was the wrong number
Because you never
Wrote back
Now I’m going to wait, for you to send me a letter
Hey, it’s been a year
I just found your boxes,
I still have a letter
I just want to say, Hi.

I wrote this poem from a personal experience, while my friend was in the hospital I sent him notes every week and a small package every once and a while. He never wrote back but his parents told me he really appreciated the notes, so I kept writing. Eventually, I sent video messages instead so he could get them faster. After a while, I put together a big package to send to him with some things that reminded me of him, but I never got to send it to him in the end.
I wrote this poem to help me get out my feelings, the poem isn't supposed to be sad, it makes me smile, and I want others to also smile reading this poem. I want people to know to keep trying even if it takes a long time, just keep trying.
