Black and White Years (The)

Helen.
i hope i'm on your mind. i hope you're stuck repeating.i hope i'm on your mind. i know you're on mine.it was the dull of winter. it was the year we met.the universe was working for once in my lifetime.i hope i'm still on your mind.could it be somehow we got the timing right this time?i believe in second chances, but i'm aware of where we've been.what is life without the slimmest chance of redemption?i believe in new beginnings, but i remember how it ended then.what is life without the thrilling curse of convention?you were the ghost of helen. the face that launched a thousand ships.i knew i'd witnessed something that was once in a lifetime.and when she spoke, she slaughtered their laughter.pity, disaster!dumbfounded folk sauntered around her, notably faster.i hope i'm still on your mind.i'm convinced i will be if we get the timing right.i believe in mending fences, but i'm aware of how you feel.what is life without the dimmest chance of rejection?i believe in independence, though i assume affection has appeal.what is life without the thrilling curse of connection?
