I
was
worried
That
I
was
too
late
That
you
had
not
found
me
And
had
gotten
lost
in
the
process
I
looked
In
search
of
red
Looking
for
that
bright
color
That
would
signal
your
arrival
I
saw
it
A
quick
glimpse
Of
you
in
the
car
A
sigh
of
relief
You
were
now
pulling
to
the
side
Finally
I
climbed
in
We
had
connected
Once
so
far
away
Together
once
again
Feebly
I
let
out
A
simple
hello
I
was
a
bit
speechless
For
what
was
I
to
say
Silence
ensued
I
am
shy
,
I
know
There
was
so
much
to
say
That
all
I
could
say
Was
"
It
is
great
to
see
you
again
"
Sporadic
conversation
About
checking
out
The
University
of
Chicago
Obtaining
our
applications
And
then
You
decided
we
would
Go
up
to
get
drinks
At
that
place
so
high
up
I
had
the
time
To
travel
with
you
Wherever
you
so
wanted
All
I
remember
Was
that
I
wanted
Simply
to
spend
time
with
you
To
talk
to
you
To
get
to
know
you
better
As
we
shopped
Or
really
looked
around
Many
thoughts
flooded
my
mind
I
had
not
gone
shopping
like
this
for
years
And
certainly
not
alone
with
a
girl
And
definitely
not
with
someone
I
really
liked
Alas
,
but
so
far
away
I
realized
that
things
Could
never
work
out
That
whatever
I
though
Would
have
to
remain
unrealized
And
soon
enough
Perhaps
too
soon
We
had
to
depart
Even
in
the
hotel
room
It
was
hard
to
avoid
it
We
cast
those
meaningful
glances
Both
not
able
to
articulate
what
we
thought
And
I
apologize
I
waited
this
long
to
tell
you
But
you
can
always
rest
in
the
knowledge
That
I
have
not
forgotten
I
have
remembered
you
