"Don't be so far away"
The letter reads
I bit my lower lip as I thought about it
Your eyes, how they shine
In pictures and in memories-
Of what has come and what I wish for
Simple animals they are, memories
Nightly, I rewrite my letter to you
Do you see it?
It is in songs and in laughter
It is in "I miss you"
This letter
I fold it each night when I offer a tiny farewell
I always mean to comeback,
So 'goodbye' will never do
I just can't say it now
Or ever
I send you this letter every day and night
At the table, eating breakfast alone
At the sink, trying to muster the energy to drag myself in to work
At my desk, work suffering for a chance to think of your eyes and pictures
I make sure to remember them
And you
Daily
Each day, in a way, I send it
My letter to you
Telling you that I-
