FOND MEMORIES OF A SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP


Sometimes, special friendships are not meant to last; the memories remain as young as springtime when a friendship ends in youth, not by choice, but by circumstance.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS AN INVITATION FOR A JAPANESE GIRLFRIEND, but visit FEROFAX photostream to get the details. Great graphics.

WIEN COFFEE SHOP, YOKOHAMA 1962 & 1963

A POEM ABOUT A YOUNG LADY WHOM I MET WHILE IN JAPAN. WE SHARED MANY GREAT TIMES. WE FREQUENTLY MET AT THIS COFFEE SHOP ON SATURDAY MORNINGS...
If i think long enough
my mind will take me
back to youthful
hope and promises
broken by me.

Regrets,
i have a few but
Fate has a way
of having
its way
no matter the beauty of sakura
or the time shared with
springtime love. Does time make the pain
less intense?
No, it only makes it more
severe when the blossoms
are so intense, so real...
