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.
