can’t recall the last time I wrote a letter
I do know its been a long time ago
thank you for instigating
the idea
sitting here waiting for your email
telling me which way
I should send my letters
by post or email
hope you say post but understand
if you don’t
thank you for being in my life
won’t repeat all the obvious things
just know you are that
special person I have always needed
I love you
I believe this is a different us
don’t know if it will be a bad thing or not
just wonder why I have this hollow
hurting feeling inside my chest
I am nearing
the end of my life
the past is what it is
painful to revisit
this new thing we are trying out
will be difficult
for me
so far most of this letter
has been about “the change”
in our lives
a change which will hopefully
give you some peace
about us
and the other things in your life
I’ve told you
again and again
I only want what will make you happy
this, then, may be it
I will write more later

how sweet that you would think to write a letter, post it or mail it. Although email is faster, assuming she opens her emails often. A letter arriving at your residence would be opened immediately, so it's that choice you only can make.
