Love.
There are half-remembered quotes I would like to repeat to you. I can’t remember the way you said them or I said them, but I wish I could.
I have a snapshot of you in a park beside a swing weighted down by iron chains. The sun is in your hair – the tremendous harvest of your hair.
We weren’t a story, not a short story. We were unfinished letters and we never knew how to end them. Was I yours, ever? Ever, yours?

It is amazing how many things we pick up without thinking and continue to do it without really understanding what we are doing. The one thing that I did learn from tenth grade typing that did engage my mind was the use of "Ladies and Gentlemen" to open a letter rather than, Sir, Sirs, Master, Hey There, Hi, or other too informal or totally incorrect or obsolete wording.
