Dear Long Brown Hair,

We've had a lot of good times together.
I'll always remember the way you flew in the air,
made comfy beds for creatures,

got caught in a flock of birds,

and were covered by hairy, sweaty men.
But I feel that we are no longer right for each other and it's time to move on.

There's a little girl out there who will love you,

and there's a little girl in me,

who wants nothing more than to feel the wind on her shoulders.
