Exchanging letters
Running to the post office every morning
Returning late by afternoon
Picking up your favorite ice cream

I waited
By the couch we usually sat together
Your head on my lap

I waited
Until the day you replied
In the mailbox that we paint in red
You inscribed a universe

So tell me darling
How are you up there?
