Say My Name

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy ways which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity…
Why should I be out of mind just because I am out of site?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well.
~Henry Scott Holland (1775-1864)
