'forgive Me'

It ended as quickly as it began,
You were gone and everything was empty.
A suffocating silence filled your place that left me
With the looming hope if your return.
I waited, wondered, worried that you'd forgotten,
But every few months
I'd get a postcard in the mail 
Of a place I've never been,
With the same scribbled message
Over and over,
"Forgive me."
