Song in my head:

Everybody hurts..
Everybody cries...

REM

Imagine leaving your little pumpkin behind..while you are shipped off to a useless war. That last hug....when you don't want to let go. Wondering if you will ever see you sparkling shiny little child again. To hold on to that last moment between goodbye and the last touch as it fades into a memory. When that's all you have to remember... as you leave in a turmoil of pain, fear and a panic..that this might be the last hug and kiss....
