The Wicket-Keeper
A lover I once knew, die today
he was alive yesterday
I never thought of him this way.
I never think about the rain
Unless it flood my drains,
my driveway, my rose garden
Or dampened my happy mood
Why would the death of my lover
Leave me so sad, and blue
Tender moment of affection: edgy days
Relationships have it up and downs
The past have been trouble: maybe I was wrong,
Probably he was right: however here tonight
A lover I once knew passed away today
My old lover the wicket-keeper:
The one I uses to love the most: an distant lover
