Letters to Nowhere

I put a letter in your mailbox

On a Thursday afternoon.

Friday comes, I check my mailbox,

To find nothing from you.

Saturday, you’ve gone away.

Sunday brings nothing new.

I check it faithfully every day,

Hoping to hear from you.

Every time I pass your mailbox,

I notice the flag is down.

And I’m starting to hear stories

Saying that you’re moving out.

Monday, what can I say,

Tuesday I’ve got the blues.

Wondering why you’d disappear

Without giving me the news.

I put a letter in your mailbox

On a Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday comes, I check my mailbox,

To find all my letters to you.
