Lettre que j'enverrai à mon ami ...

May 6th, 2004

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for your letter, I received it this week … You will find enclosed the correction of the French part of your letter. You had a very good idea to write the beginning of the letter on a tissue, you are still the “Crazy guy” ;-) The envelope is very pretty, I opened it very carefully.

So, you were in Canada, Fredericton when you wrote me ? When did you go there and how long have you been there ? The last time I saw you on MSN, you were in Wisconsin looking for a job ... By the way, did you take some pictures when you were in Canada ? And can you send me some of them by e-mail ?

So you saw xxxx, probably xxxx and others guys ... What are they doing now ? Still prisoner in Freddy ? ;-) And do you have news from xxxxxx ?

You said you play drums with the recording I sent you. Recording of some songs I played with my guitar. Maybe we will meet again and then we will play together ... Don't forget your favorite song, a tribute to the greteast song in the world ... I remember when we were together ... When you sang while I was playing guitar .. I remember our last day in Fredericton ... Do you remember ? We went to the guitar shop to give back the guitar I rented ... Then we sat down and played together while people were looking us .... It was too funny ! It was one of my most favorite time in Canada ... Also our trip in Quebec ... No more questions, you are in Quebec ... Or “Michelle” .... So good souvenirs ...

I miss this time when we were in Fredericton ... When we talked together about some difficult subjects ... Friendship, love ... I hope you have found answers to these questions ... I am still looking these answers ... Yep, still looking after so many answers ...

You probably remember that I made a pomise when I was in Canada ... Well I failled ... So ashamed ...

And you, you said you were hesitating to take a certain job ... what kind of job ? And have you accepted it ? I hope things are good for you ... So, no more essays ??? ;-)

By the way, sorry if I make some mistakes ... I have not spoken in English since I have been back in France ... Et j'aime massacrer l'anglais ... ;-)

And I hope we will meet again ... Don't know where, don't know when .... But I know we will meet again mon ami.

Be well and take care mon ami,

Sincerely,

xxxx

J'irai acheter un stylo plume cet après-midi pour recopier cette lettre proprement. Pas gagné sachant que je suis gauché. J'en profiterai pour faire un tour du côté de la Fnac.

Voici la chanson que j'écoute en ce moment ...

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start
