Hello is a dangerous word
We never said farewell
but the end crept
insidiously,
anyway.
I’ll always remember
you smell of salt
from the sea,
chocolate flowers,
rich, dark soil,
and milky tea.
Still, your labyrinth
wants to tangle
with mine
for all eternity.
Still, I feel
your breath
across
the world from me.
I’ve learned
“Hello”
is a dangerous
word.
