Dear friends

Air ripples around me.
Air ripples around me!,
you cry.

With delight.
With delight sweeter
than chocolate.

That day,
that night,
you danced with joy
and all of us laughed.

It was easy to forget.
To forget the ease,
with which we loved.

It was hard.
And even harder to hold,
when it came crumbling apart.

That is how…No.
That is why we stay close
even apart.
