Letter from a loved one

My dear
The time since we last spoke
Has passed so quickly
So much has occurred
In the moments
Of your life

My dear
You have framed so many photos
Hang them delicately on your walls
I see you look at them often
That pretty smile
Regretful tears

My dear
You have adorned yourself
In my jewelry
Items you have made anew
As you walk through this life
Watching it with you

My dear
You have questioned this life
I have provided for you
Paths chosen all alone
With strength
I have told you

My dear
Patience please
I hear you speak
The darkest of the night
May I still have this dance
For the rest of your life
