Those love song lyrics —
"Never, my love",
A promise of forever
Impossible to keep,
But nectar for the heart.

"Tell him I miss him
More each day" —
A misremembered record
Of the fractured day,
Hopeful, if improbable.

"You're the best thing
That ever happened to me."
The worst of all,
Superlative of hope,
Destitute at last.

"Together, that's how it must be,
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me."
Such absolutes in feeling
Tend to lose their force in fact.

This one is best...
"Walk on by, don't stop!"
No promises made,
No poor hope painfully extracted
From the rich soil of dreams.

Which reminds me

Sometimes , just sometimes those song have pretty truths:

Nico's first single says:

I'm not saying I'll be true

But I'll try
