Dedicated with grace and gratitude to the ‘Little Swallow’ from the ‘Happy Prince’. With memories of El Comandante, balcony sunsets, six conversations running in tandem, Mahler, Aschenbach, the liquidator and of us being in love, by mistake. And, although the ego is brittle and easily hurt, the true spirit is forever free. So fly away little one, knowing that wherever you are…yes, I loved you: "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!''
