Vessels of Love

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

couple it with roses and chocolates, makes love

so endearing, so sweet

so charming, so honest

so pure, so passionate

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

sent through the post office or via a good old friend

pair it with special instructions

not to open nor to drop

and take extra care ’till you get

makes love exceptional and oh, so real

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

but ours my dear, were never sent through

the post office or via a good old friend

ours was written and sent right in

the comfort of an old ugly bench

the solitary observer of our love

right there and then

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

we exchanged verses of love

those verses of love, we later realized

were the single lonesome spectator

of our blissful love, yet unspoken

bleeding through my pen and paper

shattering between your replies

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

and who would have thought our love would ever endure

amongst the pages of wringing papers

and in between soaking lines

your passion to love is what kept it alive

and my desire to be loved is what kept it thriving

we fell in love when snail mails were all that we ever got

and who would have thought our love would ever endure

the birth of emails and smart phones

facebook and instagram

these brand new lonesome spectators

of our blissful love
