Up on Heartbreak Hill

Strangely enough
there's no remainder
of the willow tree
we hid under
to protect us from
the rainstorm
and the thunder
that lit up
that dreary night,
that cold
heartbreaking night.
Still she knew
that she was right
to tell me of
her love for Bill
that night
and as truth
became revealed,
I felt the pain
a broken heart feels
up on Heartbreak Hill.

Not an actual experience,
but never the less a sad
experience is brought to
memory upon this date.

Well, first of all, dear James, please never again hide under a tree during a storm and lightning!

Good that you both survived that sad moment and could experience love again.

Beautiful, in its melancholy!

Love,
Margherita
