I got word yesterday from a friend that a mutual friend died last September…

One day
I don’t know which one
the letters stopped coming
I don’t know why

The next time I wrote
I don’t know when
the letter came back
‘no forwarding address’

Now comes the news
I don’t know why now
you’ve gone for good
I’m going to miss you
