[bodytext] => (as told to me one night in February 2002 by Bernice who has lived up to her own advice)
I know of one, a very sad But lovely one who taught me What it means to give, Showed me how to live, And love. It’s at times such as these, I recall The wise words she once said to me; At a time when I felt I knew it all, I recall the words now with such clarity. We dream the dreams of princes and queens, But live out our days in obscurity; We fall in love but don’t know what it means; Love is the burden of responsibility. When you wake at dawn to find you lover gone, A note by the bed, an impression of her head Upon the pillow. Like the willow, Give more and bend; love does not end; Let go of pride and don’t become bitter inside; Don’t go down that low; don’t allow vain ego To win in the end; just sway and bend; Love her more, love her more. Wipe the tears from your face, And remember your place In the cosmic scam of things; All you have is what you have, And what you have is love; And when you think hope dies, When you see nothing in her eyes; If its real and you still call it love, Love her more, love her more. Be sure of yourself and be true; Not just to her, but to you; You know what love means, Hold onto those dreams; Look after what’s inside; Don’t hide or be scared, Or ashamed that you cared; Vanity is insanity in love; Love her more, just love her more. Don’t betray your truth; Beware the idealism of youth, Thst wants the world and wants it now; Take it slow, change the rules; We are all love’s fools: the lonely, worn out, Strung out, dispossessed and worse; Who just gaze upon the universe Of suffering; so don’t cry; don’t ask why Just love her more, love her more.
