Card

Leafed through letters last night
A torn card came into sight
Hands shaking, read through the lines
Didn’t know whether to smile or cry

My face lit up
As I read through
Bowling me with your wit
Your insights, your sarcasm too

I smiled and laughed
Until my world came to a sudden halt
A heartfelt declaration
Too good to be true

Then the smile disappears
As I did some thinking
What ever happened?
Why it ended when it should begin.
