Don't you think

its strange,

that water,

which is

colourless,

tasteless,

odourless,

totally unspectacular

and ordinary,

and yet,

it is so important,

to our survival?

There must be a moral

somewhere,

but can't think of it.

It is my ex-wife's 35th birthday.

I actually remembered her 21st

quite vividly.

Rented a boat,

bought food and drinks,

invited her closest friends,

and threw her a surprise.

She was stunned

into tears.

The party cost me $500,

was like alot of money then.

I wonder how is she,

if she is alright,

who is she with,

if he is treating her right.

Guess she is not mine

to care

anymore.

But can't help thinking

about her,

all day.

But memories are meant

for the dead.

Peace resides

in the cemetry.

I shan't live in

could have beens

might have beens

should have beens

would have beens.

But for today,

I'd just wish her the best,

in my heart,

afterall,

she was once

mine.
