Time has not diminished
Nor has space lessened
My affections and my passions for you.
The weight of many years
In which I was not to speak to you
In intimacy
Had crushed me.
But when I think of you now
And express those long unexpressed affections
They hark back to a time when you were close to me
And kissed me, and told me you loved me.
My images of you, of us
Are in the pages of a photo album
Forever fixed
Like flies in amber
My heart goes out to you
As yours went out to me
So long ago
And you were kind to me
When kindness was life itself to me
In loving gratitude
I send a kiss across the miles
