I found a letter in an old coat pocket
I thought of you before my brain could stop it
It’s been a long time healing
But I felt the same old feeling
Living in an old forgotten pocket

I found a letter yellowed by the ages
Your fragrance there came wafting from the pages
That memory stirs a dream
Much too bitter to redeem
All we had belongs now to the ages

I found a letter in an old coat pocket
A thought of you was there--I couldn’t block it
In  my old winter coat
The chill was in your note
I squeezed it into trash but couldn’t drop it………..
