In response to Langston Hughes “Harlem”<\/p>\n
Strange enough I find myself thinking of you.<\/p>\n
Sitting here reminiscing about our forgotten fruit.<\/p>\n
The hopes and dreams we had in hopes of a life together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Predicting we could withstand any storm together.<\/p>\n

Moments I imagine that never happen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In reality, you are there and I am here.<\/p>\n
Missing the link to a chain, wondering what will remain?<\/p>\n
How do I ease the loneliness only you can fill?<\/p>\n
