I hope that you will fall in love again
With someone I will introduce you to
Don’t worry – you’ll have no cause to complain
Somebody different – nicer – someone new.
He wouldn’t have to hide away and write
Daft verses about what he should say plain
Nor cry about separation in the night –
Such thoughts he wouldn’t even entertain.
I hope you meet him soon and your heart melts
On meeting: but, dear, here’s a catch you see;
This lovely fellow isn’t someone else
But just myself as I would like to be.
My love, it’s true you might have quite a wait.
Be patient with your present, imperfect mate.
