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
