What happens when the girl you've always wanted Breaks up with you? Are you forever haunted By thoughts of her with someone else? By the thought That never, never will you love like that Again? The jewel of day is gone. You see Bitter blackness until death. Ay me! What more can someone in such pain want Than death? The girl you've always wanted need not haunt You long. If she no longer loves you, then clearly She's not the one. The pain lasts only rarely, Because a healthy love, like any fire, Requires a match.
