In Case I Don't See You


Andrea Lehman

 

In Case I Don’t See You

 

“I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

 

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

 

Forgive me

They were delicious

So sweet

And so cold”

 

To: You

 

Day after day,

years after years,

what were once our dreams

have turned into our reality.

 

Although our bodies have

changed and aged,

our love remains to be the same

calm breeze in my soul as it began.

 

Although our days are spent

less with each other, and more

caught up in responsibility

My love for you remains the same.

 

When our time together is delayed

or we miss each other leaving for the day,

Just think of these memos

As love notes

 

From: Me.
