Until now.
And I realise, with an amused smile, that this is SO Pepper. The chorus could have been written by her. If... y'know... she had opposable thumbs.
So as we sit here waiting for her time to go, she and I, please have a listen to "our song" and smile with me:
If you leave me, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?
