Please Not Number Nine
PLEASE, NOT NUMBER NINE
Whenever I see the number nine,
Though it happened many years ago,
My mind still conjours up the picture
Off the day you told me we were through.
Though I begged you for another chance
And you could not explain the reason,
Yet you packed your bags and walked away.
The long-haul bus that took you from me,
Mocked me as it drove off – number nine.
