I fear my dearest LOVE, my oldest friend that we must part, though I shall cherish forever the wine we drank and spilled, but your spirit has chilled and for yourself you no longer care. It is with deepest sorrow that I must say goodbye, but I cannot stay drowning with you in despair and though I shall LOVE you always still, your self induced suffering is more than my now wide open heart is willing to abide…
just LOVE…
Kip Baldwin
