4Happenings
Who would ever have thought that you and I
Would come to be you and I; but it happened
It happened without us realising it
…
It happened last spring
When we stayed up late
Arguing over the functions of carbohydrates
And the origins of vital amines
…
It happened last summer
When we discovered the chemistry we shared
Oh, both literally and as a figure of speech
…
It happened last monsoon
When I eulogised the stormy skies and you listened
And we buried ourselves deep in our textbooks
…
It happened last autumn
When your best friend and mine got together
And you and I mocked them mercilessly
…
It happened last winter
When we had time on our hands
And phones glued to our ears
…
It happened this spring
When, for you, I ceased to exist
And I cried a river and three swift brooks
…
It'll happen this summer
When we'll look towards our futures
And slave our way through ink and paper forests
…
It'll happen this monsoon
When the rains will act pricey; and the humidity will rise
And so will the pressure to complete our syllabi
…
It'll happen this autumn
When time will transform into a precious commodity
And although we'll be searching for more, maybe we'll have enough for each other
…
It'll happen this winter
When we'll stand poised at the doorway to the rest of our lives
And pause and smile, knowing that whatever the future holds
Little moments will happen
To make us
You and I
