i now declare no longer i'll love you
as my heart's passion lies in stat and math
love for love's sake will render nothing new
except a heavy sigh along my 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 the wound will soon be healed
in other world if there is ever one
i pray you will create my life's design
but now our separate paths have begun
and you will find your love as i've found mine
a man must follow where his heart will lead
if not then life is dull and future dread
