Letter to a Friend as I Leave
And I wonder what you’re thinking
As I leave you
I wonder if you’re wishing
I would cry or show emotion
I’m pretty sure you’re thinking
You’ll miss me too…
And I wonder what you’re thinking
As I leave you
I wonder if you’re wishing
I would cry or show emotion
I’m pretty sure you’re thinking
You’ll miss me too…
Whether many or few
Sometimes embraces are shared
Or kisses or clasped hands
Sometimes smiles are brave
And eyes are dry
But people hate to say…
A groan of anguish seeks to escape—
I barely contain it.
Why, why, WHY
Why does it feel so broken?
This was to be a joyful reunion,
A celebration of the fruit of many years—
Yet here is heartache in the happiness…
Have you ever been
Simply
Forgotten?
Sitting
Like a dusty jewelry box
On a shelf,
Waiting
To be remembered,
To be meaningful…
