What?! It was a typo!!
I thought you were calling me 'lovey' because of my theatrical background!!! And because I took a complex, three act opera and boiled it down to six lines...well, three really.

The second I read that last comment, I could hear it in my head; and yes, it is stunning.

By the way, I think you may have just inspired me to write one more Wagnerian haiku.
Have you ever heard Tristan und Isolde?? If not, start with the end (oddly!); Isolde's liebestodΒ (love/death). It'll knock your little socks off!!
