With time passing the older me says
Elsa really loves Rick

Strange how in my married middle age the movie fit
Elsa and her husband get away and are set to fight the Nazis

I see why Rick let her go – it was the war and his words
Our concerns aren’t a hill of beans at this time

The middle class me says all good
France kinda wins

The Nazis guys lose, but with age
I see at the end Rick is really alone

His love is gone and I’m back to thinking as a 9 -year-old
To be selfish – to want Elsa – to want Paris

Elsa will help fight the good cause
but he’ll never have Paris again
