If you do not tell me

I cannot worry

That you stay remote

I cannot worry

That you won’t pick up the phone

Who knows what you are thinking of

And maybe there is nothing words can say

To find a way

To draw close again

But still at times you will be with me

Like an ever present song

And at times my older self

Will still.long for you

As younger sisters do

But these days

Perhaps it feels far better

To remember you in slience

With sadness

And to wish you well

For I can never know

What is really in your heart

If you will not tell me
