Please don’t lose your wonder
Your passion, your heart, your thunder
Certainly now I’m left asunder
All this brought on by my many a blunder
Your gift you’ve wanted to share, not even plundered
With you gone, I’ve time to ponder
Learn from it, adrift on the great blue yonder
Knowing still that my love for you will grow fonder
ODE TO AN EX-MATE
