Friend, do you remember when last we watched the sunset together? Since then how many times the sun has risen... set, yet we two have never met again.
That time we laughed so hard together, how long ago that was! We'll never laugh together again, will we? Laughing alone now leaves me so weary!
I used to think you need someone beside you to cry. Today I understand, you need someone beside you to laugh too!
How suddenly we fell silent. A wall of wordlessness rose between us. All the green grass of love turned pale. Our pride grew deeper than the ocean.
The sharp fury of sunrise came again and again swallowing the dewy tears of our tenderness.
All the wealth of friendship slowly dimmed falling at the feet of misunderstanding.
You know, today I feel like weeping to think that all the equations that created this distance between us were each more fragile than a single afternoon we shared!
We could have done without so much! What good is owning an entire garden if you have no claim to a single tree?
We're growing old, friend! If we had a walking stick, how much easier it would be for us both to walk!
