With All My Fondest Regards
Thank you, my friend,
for not
getting back to me ..
Before
you did, that is ..
I simply needed the
time and the space
to get my head
back in gear again ..
And the respite
it gave, came at just
the right time ..
Just in case,
you ever might think
I had missed
or forgotten you ..
Well, I want
you to know, I miss
nothing ..
And you, are not
going to become the
exception ..
But I know you felt
good when you
read my last message
by the time
that it took you to
format your answer ..
Which was,
by the way far too
long in the making
to convince me that
nothing
had changed,
for the better, except
maybe, the seasons ..
So I hope
you’ll forgive me
when I wish you the
best of good things ..
And I pray
you will always be
happy together ..
Yours sincerely,
a caring, but otherwise
helpless spectator ..
