But even before I could express myself...
He left the city without trace!

But my heart found him out, and wrote letters...
Singing ancient songs of admiration...!

And he replied with black letters of condemnation aiming to break my heart...

But what the girl inside of me did?
She *bowdlerized his sour letters...
Into letters pouring love and honey and slept with them day and night...!

Was it a budding poet's heart that did so or a lover's heart I could not fathom till this day...!
