Only the dead have seen the end of war -- Plato<br /> <br /> And when he gets to Heaven - to St. Peter he will tell... <br /> One more soldier reporting, sir - I served my time in hell -- Unknown<br /> <br /> Flying through hyperspace ain&#039;t like dustin&#039; crops, boy! -- Han Solo

The heavens open up on a lovely spring afternoon. Drip... Drop... Drip... Drop...
We take each others hands and waltz into the open. Our feet move - we splash through puddles. Splish... Splash... Splish... Splash...
We are happy; I capture the moment. Music in one ear... Her laughter in the other. The rain is cold, but my heart keeps me warm. Drip... Drop... Drip... Drop...
Time to go home... Her glistening eyes lock onto mine. "Bye bye." Her soft voice blends into the pouring rain. She vanishes under the waterfall - I stumble home. Splish... Splash... Splish... Splash...
