'The Dangling Conversation'
Dear Simon and Garfunkel,
You are something I never understood.
A riddle not to be answered, a question
left to dangle.
You seemed so happy. Smiling
in those album covers, but
those a mere illusion into
the truth, a badly kept
Secret. Simon and Garfunkel
were in constant conflict.
Why?
It never made sense.
How could people who,
together, create songs
that strive to understand
the most basic parts
of being human. Voices
melding together and
fitting like pieces of a puzzle;
something that makes
a thing even more beautiful
then the pieces alone ever
could.
Perhaps, it’s not my place.
Perhaps, some things are
better left unsaid.
I just want to say,
whatever happened between
you, I hope you forgave
each other. I think once
you were close friends.
Then the pressure to succeed
mounted and snapped the last
thread that held your
friendship.
Anyway,
People, like me, still listen
and appreciate the things
you made.
I just wish that
you would have made
them together,
like it should have been.
Sincerely,
A Fan
