I Felt A Momentary Urge

I Don't Get Nearly Enough Credit In Life For The Things I Manage Not To Say.

If You Haven't Been In A War And Are Wondering How Long It Takes To Get Used To Losing Everything You Think You Need Or Love, I Can Tell You The Answer Is No Time At All.

The Real Truth Is That The War Didn't Have Much To Do With It Except That It Provided A Perfect Limbo In Which Two People Who Were Too Young And Too Related Could Start Kissing Without Anything Or Anyone Making Us Stop.

I Didn't Seem To Have That Effect On Anyone But It Would Have Been A Waste For Both Of Us To Be Saints.

This Was What Happiness Felt Like - This Wondrous, Miraculous Alternative To Dread.
