Letters To An Old Friend

I Received A Letter From You

I received a letter from you

One you never sent

Left for me in a dream

One I hope you meant

In this dream I took you

To a hidden space

A cabin off the road

A safe and special place

I spoke of the waking world

The letters I would write

Ones I'd never send

Of these moments late at night

I told you how I missed you

And the warm summer days

I said let's go outside

In the beautiful golden haze

The cabin will always be here

You could stay if you wished

I'd come visit you in sleep

Where our friendship still exists

I don't know how it happened

At some point you were gone

Vanished once again

With the coming of the dawn

In your place a letter

Lay folded on the floor

It was written in your hand

And it shook me to my core

But I couldn't read it all

No matter how I tried

The paper was to wet

From all the tears I cried

Not much I could decipher

Only the last line

"I am your friend."

Can I take it as a sign?

Thank you for your letter

It meant the world you see

I'll keep it in the cabin

With the memories of you and me.
