Dear John

I think we're out of time. 
I guess I won't cry 
my eyes still feel dry 
You're not fighting it. 
Our ten rounds must be up. 
But, when the gloves were off,
we spoke the truth. 
beared it all, but never saw it through.
My mind still floats 
between relief and regret on this subject.
We both took our low blows,
and stepped out of the rink,
only to jump back it.
