I wanted to say something to you.

I don't think it matters any more now.

Everything is lost.

I did my best.

If only you'd met me halfway.

But life is too short.

Do you remember our tree? The big oak? Two trees in one, twisted together over lifetimes?

I wish I could find it again.

Red Rover, Red Rover . . .

I called you over.

You didn't come.
