I remember
Our love blossoming in the Fall
By the time old man Winter arrived
Our Love was as deep as the snow
I remember
Your birthday
Though I was not present
Your ship arrived
Sailing my love to you
Wrapped in old quilts reading each of your letters’
I fell in Love with you
Over and over
The butterflies danced in my heart
Every line I wrote in return of our affection
I dreamed of your dark brown eyes
Your dark chestnut hair
Time after time
My heart imagined someday
You lingered inside my heart and soul for years
Forty years later and worlds apart
You still hold that a key to my heart
