Goodbye to Sharon
|
Something happened my love, For I find myself gazing At you through a cloud of confusion That keeps us so far apart. One day I dreamed of a love That would blow the cloud away Like pollen on the wind, And decorate our hearts With a life filled with beauty. Have we lost that star that guides us to that love? Or am I plagued with illusion of despair? Where are the lights flashing in your eyes? Where in the warmth that colors your smile? |
I knew them once but they seem to have faded away. The sun doesn’t feel so warm And the stars look further away. In my thoughts, alone at night I try to place the blame on you, But I know there is no blame, For we are only pawns moved So randomly by the whimsical hand of fate. If this is but an illusion, Please ease my soul with a tender kiss And warm my heart with words of love. But if not, I wish you, my love, farewell, Wherever the wind may carry you. |

(Separate letter) Dear Sharon, I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing, writing to a woman who I shouldn’t even be thinking about, but I am too far away to call, and I want to talk to you. I am very afraid of you, Sharon, because you have had an effect on me that I somehow find impossible to control. All logical reasoning tells me that I should do everything possible to detach my emotions from you, but I can’t. Maybe it is because the experiences I had with you were the only ones in which I acted without a mask to hide my true self from the world, Maybe it was just because you made me feel so good. Now I find myself in a very uncomfortable situation. All I want is to be with you, but that is impossible, so I entertain myself with fantasies of a future when again we aren’t afraid to admit that we want each other, and with memories of last summer. | |
