Try

The etymology dictionary tells me

Means

To sort
(By examination)

Which I think means (though I am not looking and will not look)

To take the good
And cleave to it
Like the last and only lover
(Or should I say "love"?)
Like the one true thing
Like your last hope

Even if it is a small thing

Even if it is trying to get away.

Hold it
Claim it
Make it yours

Just try.

See what happens.

It could be a good thing.

Hold on.

Try

For a change.

It seems to me we make such a virtue of letting go, of embracing openness to the point of emptiness. I get that "if you want to be here, you'll stay" stuff, but there's nothing quite like the sound and feel of "I want you" (here, with me, beside me,now). A big embrace feels so much better than a good-natured wave good-bye.
