VALENTINE ~

THE BIG HUG


Live long enough and you may see
Those you loved and who didn't love you —



Heroes, fantasies, icons, dreamboats, filigree
All disappear, never-were, something about a big imagination



While those you do love and they do love you
They also disappear, here today gone tomorrow, poof



So now you know what to do






for Susan
