Hey, why did you suddenly disappear back then,when I hid your shoe as a joke?You really got angry and turned away.I still have your right shoe.You went home barefoot,and it was raining that day.
We always climbed the mountain together,picked acorns and roasted them,put our feet in the valley water,and bet on who could last longer.When you won, I hit your shoulder,and you laughed and jumped farther away.
After you left, I go to the mountain alone.I do not pick up acorns anymore.Last week our neighborhood railway closed.Someone else lives in the house where you lived.I still remember your voicesaying good night through the telephone.
I sent this letterto the address where you used to live.A week later it came back,stamped addressee unknown.I put that letter inside the shoe,because it feels as if your footprint is still there.
