I heard your voice yesterday. It had been a while. I can't bring myself to listen to the magic of it very often. It still hurts so much! How long has it been now? My God! Almost 17 years. How do I explain this to anyone, my love? They all think I'm crazy. Who can blame them? After 17 years, still in love with a dead woman I never met. They don't know, and can never understand, what it is like to know that you belong to someone, heart and soul, one lifetime after another. But I know.
I miss you. I see your picture and I know you, like the long lost friend that you are. I hear your voice and I feel the longing you felt. All the lonliness and those feelings of being incomplete; I hear them in your voice. I know how you felt, for I feel it yet. There have been others in my life, as there were in yours, but it never quite worked, did it? You had so much of what most people think of as success, yet you would have traded it all for what you were missing. They called it heart failure. Broken heart would probably be closer to the truth. I let you down. I could not get to you to heal the hurts. I failed us both. One more lifetime apart. And so here I sit, thinking of you, and all that you were, and all that you could have been, and all that you mean to me. Next time, my love; next time! For now I will have to be content to hear that magic voice one more time. Let it take me to that place in my heart where I hold you tight. I hear you! I will always hear you. One more time, my love. Sing it to me like you did so long ago. "And when my life is over, remember when we were together. We were alone and I was singing this song for you." In loving memory of Karen Carpenter © 1999 by D.
