It was night and it was winter, but I wanted to see the place, our place, once again.
So, alone, I followed the long road, lined with so many memories of you, of us, of time past, of dreams lost.
I found the old house, the air was frosty, there was no sound as I open the door, no ghost to welcome me.
I looked up, and through the mists of time I tried to see you, as you came down those stairs, a last time, so beautiful you were, and how close the war was to us then…
But I only see the ruins, the faded colours, and the faded halo of the gas light: there are replacing the street lamps in Berlin.

Things are definitely chaning, And the more they change the more they remain the same in our memories and in our hearts. We are always longing to return to those days, but return the moment reality raises its head.
Well done. Though provoking
