A New Learning Of An Old Man...

i am so sorry
i just wake up from a very deep sleep

it is now
fifty years ago, and i do not remember you

i am so sorry
my heart beats for another

it is not our fault
we were inside that dream

we did not intend to
stay there either

this is another season
i will miss the sun, i am here for autumn

i am old, and i have learned too late to love
myself again
