00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:05.340 align:middle line:84%
But in thinking about
that, sense of memory,

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:09.880 align:middle line:84%
we also have memories of
ourselves, maybe our younger

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.000 align:middle line:90%
selves, who we used to be.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.880 align:middle line:90%
And so Dream Girl.

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:18.660 align:middle line:90%
Would you read Dream Girl?

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:19.760 align:middle line:90%
Absolutely.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.900 align:middle line:90%
This is a dream.

00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:26.600 align:middle line:84%
Oh, I happen to fall
right on the page.

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:33.880 align:middle line:84%
As you get older, you
love changes over time.

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.000 align:middle line:90%
And this is Dream Girl.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.600 align:middle line:84%
I dreamed of you making love
to a young version of me

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.720 align:middle line:84%
with a younger
version of yourself.

00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:51.800 align:middle line:84%
And I wonder if our dreams
are the whims skimmed

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:58.200 align:middle line:84%
off our richly committed hearts,
or disclose our true desires.

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.320 align:middle line:84%
Should we throw caution
to our dreams and wake

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.610 align:middle line:84%
youthful, middle-aged lovers,
forsaking our aging partners,

00:01:07.610 --> 00:01:12.970 align:middle line:84%
erasing all other loves to
rewrite them in a new hand

00:01:12.970 --> 00:01:17.530 align:middle line:84%
now that we understand what
it is to live by heart?

00:01:17.530 --> 00:01:19.570 align:middle line:90%
I don't know any answers.

00:01:19.570 --> 00:01:23.730 align:middle line:84%
But I dreamed of you touching
the tender skin of a girl

00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:25.970 align:middle line:90%
I could no longer be.

00:01:25.970 --> 00:01:31.730 align:middle line:84%
So young was she, so innocent
of these and other questions.

00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:36.470 align:middle line:84%
So quick to say love
and mean by it forever.

00:01:36.470 --> 00:01:45.050 align:middle line:90%


00:01:45.050 --> 00:01:45.770 align:middle line:90%
I do love.

00:01:45.770 --> 00:01:49.010 align:middle line:90%
I do love that poem.

00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:52.570 align:middle line:84%
Again, thinking of a younger
version of ourselves.

00:01:52.570 --> 00:01:56.230 align:middle line:84%
And then when you have been
with a person for a while,

00:01:56.230 --> 00:01:59.930 align:middle line:84%
you're loving all those
earlier selves, too.

00:01:59.930 --> 00:02:02.830 align:middle line:84%
And sometimes, only one of
them rises up in a dream.

00:02:02.830 --> 00:02:09.419 align:middle line:84%
But yes, it's the
richness of elder love.

00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:11.000 align:middle line:90%
