^*^ You must have your reasons * For doing the things you do
By being silent and reclusive * Where I could not reach you ^*^

 ^*^ I kept trying to keep in touch * What was I supposed to do
As this year was almost over * I'm longing to hear from you ^*^

^*^ Remembering all we shared * Recollecting as I so often do
Yet I wonder if you are aware  * How much I am missing you ^*^

^*^ While I shall continue to write * I keep hoping you would too
But you do not need to doubt  * I know I will never forget you ^*^
