Has something slipped away?

Has something been forgotten?

When I opened this letter…

I knew…

We’ve grown up—

We’re not twelve anymore

But is there something gone that you recall

That we had before?

And I opened this letter…

Sealed with a kiss

And when I opened it I felt the touch

And the warmth of your lips…

But what has slipped away?

Of that I can’t recall…

I loved you then and I love you now…

Does that matter to you at all?

We’ve grown up—

We’re not sixteen anymore

But is there something gone that you recall

That we had before?

Warming in the sun…

Letters in my mailbox…

What will await me

On my arrival home?

A kiss…?

Or a curse…?

We’ve grown up—

We’re not twelve anymore

Is there something gone that you recall

That we had before?

What is it that you recall that we had before?

A kiss?

Or a curse?
