i now declare i'll no longer love you
as my heart's passion is philos'phy and math
and love for love's sake will bear nothing new
except a heavy sigh down the life's path
however cold and cruel my act may seem
my sole dedication to truth will yield
to no mundane love and no earthly dream
and don't forget o'er time wounds will be healed
in the next world if ever there is one
i pray you will create my life's design
but now our separate paths have begun
and you'll find your love as i have found mine
a man must follow the calling in him
if not then life is dull and future dim
