An Old Letter In a New Era

A Lover once wrote a letter to a loved
He said dear beloved
Should I be worried?
That you will Leave me?
I was used to being with you
And now this life is killing
When we have to set a date for our meeting
I wanted us to be all time
I'm worried so much please
This distance this silence
It is killing.

Dear beloved I am worried
The lover went on
I am sorry I caused all this
Made us part
Yet we vowed ours will never depart
Dear beloved if you get to read this
Hear me out and remember I am still
Waiting for when your heart will heal
So I take you in home, My people are waiting
They keep asking
"Who is this One?"
“Who is she?"
I tell them you are a way
I tell them you are making steps into our future
They say we marry the sooner the better
Dear be loved be my wife.

The lover kept writing
Dear be loved be my wife.
I have with me a coat and a goat
The goat is your father's
The coat is mine to walk you down the aisle
Your wedding dress is waiting
I will not keep you waiting
Please be my wife.
The coat and the goat is all I have

He kept writing
an old letter
In a new era
He had made an error
in the city no one does ink
he should follow her link
That had a lot of traffic
With many uncounted followers
Who tweet and re-tweet.
