Anticipation. 

Such an extremity, 
Like the letters
I used to write. 

Which are of
no consequence 
Now. 

I had hoped
they'd allow us
at least one 
connection. 

I made an enemy
that day when you 
wore corn husks
In your ears. 

You've already
Forgotten, but
I've remained. 

Longing for 
what should have
Never been touched
or Told.

A touch of sadness and a lesson learned? We can all learn a new thing. Blessings. Helen
