I know grief at least, I shouted

I haven't cried since my dog died. I think I need to watch Casablanca and drink until I can't see anymore.
I always feel a lump in my throat everytime I hear Leo Sayer's "Moonlighting".. I went to Gretna once you see, with a girl I wanted to marry. I thought it would be a good story, I thought it was a romantic thing to do... but we didn't, we just laughed at the idea, and drove on to Edinburgh. We spent 2 weeks in a beige Lada estate, travelling around Scotland. It rained a lot and we spent one night sleeping in the back of the car after the tent became soaked through and was letting in water. It takes a lot to remain friends after 14 days living like that; but we did... and we eventually grew apart. She grew up and I didn't; not until later anyway. I cried a lot when I found that out, I can tell you.
