A Letter
I glance at your name
Once more,
There it lay on paper,
Etched, so surely.
I questioned myself and whether
I now wanted to send this to you
Many years have passed
And we’re now both
On separate continents
Each with a family
Each with a life
Now the music comes to my heart
That of a song, played so long ago,
For you and I
We were each to sit and listen to a song
And remember our days together
Yet you were alone on a balcony
And I was alone on mine,
Far away from each other
And so, my letter to you will not be sent
Rather, I will place it in my box of memories
With letters written to you.
