Fragrant memories waft through the air
Silently they reign, voicelessly they prevail.
My secret pleasure in reveries fair
Fades... Almost replaced by pain.
My own feelings ever-deepening with age,
Unaware I was that feelings could change.
To be your friend I have not the privilege
Distance grows in a measure so strange.
Now in silence to live I have pledged...
No more complaining about this distance
This is but the misery of the unprivileged
Who long to live above their cirumstance
