   It was a poem I wrote in 1982 based on a dream that I had in 1982.

   Okay, good.

   Again, absolutely not.   
      
   The "girl" (as in female) in the poem was basically my age at the time of the   
   poem, since we attended high school together in the 1970s   
      
   This would make her approximately 24 years old at the time of the poem, 1982.   
      
   HTH and HAND.
