First May

From the beginning of May, I had tried to stay away, That was how I found another place, Luckily, it has a piano to occupy me. Then, the incident of breaking in my property, Tied me and you to repair it, That was when we did the project "Putting lipstick on the pig". It took 6 weeks to complete. You were quite sick of doing it, While I enjoyed being with you without excuses. You stayed the evenings in my place. The weather freezed us apart, Your hands were cold and could not get warm, Despite the oil column heater was on, I wanted to share with you, my own heater generator, But, it would too embarass to both of us. Then you mentioned guacamole, Which created another food tasting relationship. I went shopping, preparing and cooking. You told me about ajvar, A very different relish dish, I was crazy to make it, You became upset when I used plastic. Quickly I overcame the issue. Then, mixed salad and Potato salad came on our menu. That was the end of our three meals. I travelled around, to ensure I was not at your second home, I was crazy about you but I had to let you go, Came along the 7th month of lunar calendar, The ghost, devil and spirit month really set us apart. You found and enjoyed new project, While making up excuses, About not wanting to be part of the dirty system. All these 6 months, you knew I was on a government scheme. You were with me as part of my own system only. It was you, who wanted to end the friendship, But had to make up hurtful excuses. It was not your projects stood between us, It was you who isolated yourself from the real world, Barricaded yourself away from me. Never mind B66, Enjoy whatever and however you want your life to be, I will survive whatever left of me. We were like two peas in the same pod, But unfortunately, we had finished in different pots. Thank you for being friend with me, However sweet and short, lovely and painfully it could be. Goodbye B66. I know you warned me not to call you BB, But frankly my dear, I loved it.
