I needed time to forget you.
I took a walk across the Thames,
Spilled some beer in Edinburgh,
And bought poetry from a Cathedral.

I guided my heart through a free fall,
Pondered thoughts til they were thorough,
Made a handful of new friends,
And called my fresh feelings true.

See what you have done to me?
I’m skipping like a madman
Between underground stations
And picking up smiles like spare change.

I stopped counting nights, only days,
Started up the engine of imagination,
And jungled around like Tarzan.
See what you have made of me?
