P, you taught me to be careful of saying “I love you”,<\/p>\n
I’ve changed a lot since we last met, my friends say that is true.<\/p>\n
You’d like them and their kindness, the dinners that we share.<\/p>\n
It’s nice to know that always there is someone that will care.<\/p>\n
I’ve moved away from London, to Middle-earth to find my names.<\/p>\n
Sherlock will always be special, but I am not the same.<\/p>\n
I grow flowers in my garden; cucumbers on the vine.<\/p>\n
I still grow wistful, for once upon a time.<\/p>\n
My hair shows streaks of gray.<\/p>\n
My vision does slowly fade.<\/p>\n
I wear multi-focus lenses now every day.<\/p>\n
I imagine you’ve aged quite gracefully,<\/p>\n
you seemed to have that knack.<\/p>\n
I hope this letter finds you well.<\/p>\n
If time permits, please write back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
