Oh foolish man, do recognize your place, Has changed, and what is now's no more as then. She's planning to estrange her passion when, She tells you solemnly she needs some space.
Do not agree, for it is not the case, That she will merely wait within her den, Return to you upon the count to ten. Do not let go, and if you have, give chase!
For in that space of time you'd be apart, She'll seek her courage, muster what she can, To overcome the love, do what she ought,
And unobstructed, strangle her own heart, Untethering to meet another man, And render you a silent afterthought!
