Letter

Two more days and I'll be there
To see you warm with your torn-down hair
You left your change and all your strangest eastern beads on my chair
Some were lost, I could not find them anywhere
I spent the day alone to write
But there's no more I can do tonight
You know you said that we were treading all we grew underground
I disagreed, but I believe now, you were right
And so I learned, you surely burn when you love, when you love
There's only one way up from down
So take it easy as you go
You are the only one I know like you
Remember who you are
I wonder if you rose with style
You used to greet me with a crazy smile
I have a gift, it's from a drifter, said he's a friend from Carlyle
He knew you well, I had him stay here for a while
And so you see that time goes well
As if we lived inside a gypsy spell
I used to wake to thoughts of making every word a new farewell
Now all I do is think of dreams to sell to you
And so I learned, you surely burn when you love, when you love
There's only one way up from down
So take it easy as you go
You are the only one I know like you
Remember who you are
