Sincerely Yours

Sincerely Yours

I have said it so often

Maybe too often

But it was the right way to end a letter

At least that is what I was told

Sincerely yours never really meant anything

They were just two words above my name

We met a while ago

Both rushing to catch a plane

You gave me your address and asked me to write

Letter after letter passed between us

Each time we got closer

Until one day when I wrote ‘sincerely yours’

It was no longer just an end to a letter

I wrote it as a promise to you

A promise to be sincerely yours forever and a day
