A World Away

Author’s Notes.

There aren’t very many, except to say that I designed the
format of this poem as close as possible to the original copy in my journal. I
apologize if it’s a little hard to understand.

here thinking of you, in the background plays our song

forced to acknowledge I have loved you all along.
