I now know which 'letters' you meant. I LOVE stanza 3. Lovely. I wonder if this is a poem about events in your own life. Perhaps?

I hope letters stay forever. I’m only 37 years old but I can’t even read a book on line.

Sometimes we break a relationship in an angry mood but we forget it's easy break the glass but impossiible to join the pieces again. Tum nahaq tukre chun chun kar seene se lagae baithe ho, sheeshoN ka Masiha koi NahiN keyN aas lagaye baithe ho (Faiz Ahmad Faiz)

A well preserved love letter reminds the time gone by and we try to recollect those lost moments. Very well thought poem. The syllables are symbol of fading memory with time and lost moments.10++++
