Love was more wild and alive when you were adjacent
We’ve sent messages to each other
through day and night
The fabric of your letter draws me in
The words on it fires me up
Emotions filled with happiness and tears in unison
Seasons changed, so did the people
The clock never stopped ticking without you
in my proximity,
Slowly did the letters stopped coming
That’s when all the stars ceased
to comfort me,
I lost the touch of your skin
I crave for your voice
every single juncture of my life,
Time aged, so did I
Skin wrinkled, hair almost grey
Not a single word from you
The maple tree sowed with our love
started to grow out,
Our child out grew your height
And then I heard you passed away
in a tussle
My light turned dark.
