You rushed down the frozen stairs of yester-years while I tried to hold you back in vain, taking stock of my mineral water bottles and deciding to go down to the northern springs for fresh tear wells of sorrows.

I just cannot take it anymore, said I, while you sedately polished your glasses against my designer stubble and blue Indian skies.
