I appear to have found your address myself I have lived in the same house for twenty-two years I have been meaning to write leave an ‘xo’ of my own tomorrow I say it will happen so you know today is not a blue day but more of course will come others from long ago have blown away naturally age will do this to us circumstances relationships only widen the gap I do not converse with them anymore they will miss my funeral instead I search for meaning in writing happiness comes in ****** bursts then vacuumed back up I can only find solace in little pleasures why has this not happened to me what am I missing did I lose anything I point my finger I sigh my fault or so I tend to believe so it goes I carry myself as if I am a mirror reflection the same but looking different every day I mean to play my guitar in the same house I have lived in for twenty-two years besten wünsche mein freund I feast on your words a delightful banquet and so I said your address I will send you a letter
Written: February 2014. Explanation: A poem written relatively quickly in my own time (and as such is not quite as strong as it could be), shortly after receiving a letter. The style, structure and theme is partially influenced by a poem written by Lisa Marie Basile. The German phrase translates as 'best wishes, my friend.'
