Dear Anthony,

Dear Anthony,
I'd like to remember who you are.
And the stories we shared,
half a lifetime ago.  Whoever we were.

Where and when did we share,
our first whatever, those many years ago.
and though, our love may not have lasted,
I'm sorry for having to forget.

Dear Anthony,
Will you remember me if we met again?
Will we make mixtapes for each other,
to remind us of what we had?

Dear Anthony,
I'm sorry.
And if never knowing, or remembering,
is the price I pay, for the crimes I cannot say,
then I shall pay them daily, and without regret.
