you just precied the 3 paragraphs which I wrote earlier and deleted 'cos I decided it was, after all, just the one of those prosaic things either written by someone in the first flush of 'idealistic love' or for a teen magazine in a far off land.

If I had the time or the inclination I would write the romantic male version - or maybe Greeker could do it and with far more romantic flare.

It's all good for the soul :D
