I wish that you would go away.
Can’t you see that I am so very busy?
I cannot fall in love today.
I have no time for the sweet nothings that you say.
Your musty cologne makes me dizzy.
I wish that you would go away.
No, I do not want you to stay.
And no, you may not kiss me.
I cannot fall in love today.
I dislike your daunting disarray.
Maybe tomorrow we will see.
But today you must go away.
And no, I do not want another bouquet
Your advances are a catastrophe.
I cannot fall in love today.
My schedule I cannot disobey.
But today I am finally free.
I asked: Why are you going away?
To which you reply, “I cannot fall in love today.”
