Postcard Lovers |
Lately I’ve become such a postcard lover |
Especially of the ones I get from you |
And if, these days, they don’t come quite so often |
They charm me more than ever when they do |
I picture you beside a sunny harbour |
Waiting for a boat to come to shore |
Your finger lingering on a postcard spinner |
In the doorway of a tacky tourist store |
Or whiling away those warm enchanted evenings |
Writing in the corner of some café |
Those careless collections of words and feelings |
You happened to feel like sending me that day |
I save every card, although it gets hard |
To keep some order amongst those random souvenirs |
It amazes me some, the way we’ve become |
Such postcard lovers, divided by the oceans |
And the years |
Have you found yourself some wonderful companion |
And all the happiness that heaven allows |
Or are you homesick for that grey and drizzly nation |
As you walk home amidst the evening crowds |
The postcards I send to you from my own travels |
Can hardly match the ones you send to me |
But at least I give you news of what I’m doing |
And open my heart to you occasionally |
Looking back on all the cards you’ve written |
From every far-flung corner beneath the sun |
They say so little of the life you’re really leading |
So little of the person you’ve become |
But they still bear the traces of all the special places |
We’ve kept deep within our hopes and in our fears |
It amazes me some, the way we’ve become |
Such postcard lovers, divided by the oceans and the years |
