40 cents more…
40 cents more
———————————————————————————————-
I called Scotland at 10pm, hoping for a proper goodbye. Beautiful Sheena answered her telephone and she told me, Johnnie, I forgave you, We held love for a second and you taught me, love was sweet, love is bleeding and tears. I heard you suffered and please Johnnie. We wanted everything too fast, we grasp love and love was enough.
Operator came on. Told me 40 cents more for three minutes more.
I told her. I love you still and I pray you found the happiness you deserve. I go to the lake and dream of us, I learn too late, You were my Scottish girl dream and I didn’t know. Love was rare and so damns sweet.

Dear Sheena begin to cry and she whispered. I loved you once, Johnnie and I don’t love you no-more. Broken heart had healed and I won’t ever forget you. You taught me love was sweet and love is a murderer of our hearts. Please be safe and be kind. Johnnie, you can’t have everything. I would of gave you everything and it wasn’t enough. Goodbye sweet soldiers.
I whispered goodbye to dear Sheena. A rainy night on a Winter Germany night. I felt a sweet dream die, forever.

Sad and lovely, John. The longer I have read your pieces, the more this feeling grows that your life has embraced or at least intersected with so many others. There must be people all through this world who have memories of you, who have been in one way or another touched by you. That must be a remarkable feeling, my friend. There is such meaning in that.

Thank you my kind friend. I was lucky. The Army took me to many places. Good to be young, free to travel and owning nothing.
