Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Christopher Coe (1953.11.27–1994.09.06) wrote two novels: I Look Divine (1987), a brilliant tale about the fragility of beauty and vanity, and Such Times (1993), a beautiful, heart-breaking semi-autobiographical story about a love affair cut short by the AIDS virus.
