'letters From Heaven'

It started with a letter, One turned into two Two into many more… Pen pals we became and That’s how our friendship Started, at the age of fourteen Until we decided to Finally meet, when we turned seventeen…. A few days before your birthday The date was set, but that meeting never happened, The letters also dried up No words just silence… Until I send you a Christmas card And your brother decided to search for me, I’ll never forget that Sunday, 16 January 1994… He looked just like you did, In the photo you send me… I really wasn’t prepared for What he had to say, You died on your way home from school Back in October already… Brain hemorrhage is what he said… Before he uttered those Words the tears were Already streaming down my face, I knew something must have Happened to you, because you would Never just go silent and not make contact… I use to read your letters over and over, For months after your brother told me, Until I made peace with the fact that we would never meet, least not in the way we have planned… *In loving memory of, Reginald Waldeck* © All Rights Reserved
