Everyone

"oh, I only said that for a joke"
She said, undoubtedly embarrassed
At my gratitude

If course she did,
How could she have come up with those words
Randomly,

Such a wonderful and beautiful compliment,
So much better than mine,

'i love you 'cos you're great'.

Carmen was too late,
She couldn't retrieve it
She'd sent it out to me,
I had caught it,

And sent it straight to you,
So much more deserving of it
Than I

'the world would be a better place
If everyone was you '

She said
To me

But probably meaning you.

Goodbye my love,
My wonderful wife Wendy.
