"The Notebook"

here it is
Saturday morning...

and I'm watchin a movie
the sun is shining
the birds are chirpin

and I'm locked in the dark
in my livingroom
watching "the Notebook"

what a great movie

I put off watching it for a long time
cos I didn't want to deal with the smaltz
but what a truly great movie

it reminds me
once again...
that I have spent a whole 50 years
yearning
for the kind of love
that beats the odds...

the forever kind of love

it puts words to the
constant yearning
that is my life...

it reminds me that time is short...
life is fleeting...
and love is all important...

and that somehow
even without it
I am ok
