Before I could say “that’s it”
We often do not know how to express ourselves politely.
By the time we truly can express ourselves politely,
we find that we have grown so far apart.
To keep the signs from becoming obvious, we choose to hide our true selves.
And only when
the flowers
fall
do we realize
that so much has already passed,
long ago, like letters,
beyond regret,
leaving us weeping.
