Closure

I have been in a long-standing war with someone whom I care about deeply. I just slipped this note underneath his door this afternoon. I pray that he will read it and that he will be my friend again. Part of me knows that he won't.


O, vergieb, du Vielgetreue!
Tritt aus deinem Dämmerlicht,
Daß ich dir in's ewig neue,
Mondenhelle Angesicht

Einmal schaue, recht von Herzen,
Wie ein Kind und sonder Harm;
Ach, nur Einmal ohne Schmerzen
schließe mich in deinen Arm!
