However, I would say there was an underlying element of melancholy about him. And on having read the poem slowly and several times, it fits him to a tee; albeit a slightly worrying tee. But then Tom has always been self aware; little, if any, bullshitting for him. A free spirit, one of life's good guys. He'd stand on a landmine before he'd let you.<br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-80866396558010726212018-02-16T04:28:56.641+01:002018-02-16T04:28:56.641+01:00I hope this is Tom, but I'm afraid to believe ...I hope this is Tom, but I'm afraid to believe it.
