Letters For You [Her Side] #5

They say this town 

 Will never know 

 -the atrocities of war- 

 Then it all change when a sky blue car came 

 With a boy and a man 

 Who claimed

 They were from yucatan. 

The man always talked of the sea 

While his feet sunk down on the wooden floorboards. 

 He would have grown old 

 Watching the maple trees 

As he talked of his beloved sea. 

 The boy was a different case. 

 It was hard 

 Trying to keep up his pace. 

 Even though he was so cruel  

There was something in his eyes 

That made you want to be a fool 

Just so he would turn to look at you. 

 When winter came, 

 I knitted handgloves for him to wear 

 When he was sitting by the worn bridge

 Talking of how he wanted to leave 

This town in nowhere.
