What we talk about when we talk about love
(for R.)
About gifts we wished for
About gifts we gave
About gifts we received
About vouchers never cashed
About dreams we shared

About tears and fears and laughter
About losses and gains
About victories and defeat
About what we once wanted to be
About what we are what we were and
Sometimes about what we will never become
