Love Letters

All letters of love are
Ridiculous. 


They wouldn’t be love letters if they were not 
Ridiculous.


In my days I too wrote letters of love, 
Like others, 
Ridiculous. 


Love letters, if there’s love, 
Have to be 
Ridiculous. 


But at the end 
Only those who never wrote 
Letters of love 
Are really 
Ridiculous.
