Circumstance
By Summer L., Solon, ME
Two young ones thrown together by circumstance
(No need to say what)
Could not remember her name for the longest time
Until he spoke of her and could not think what to call her
Stuck in his mind after that - she didn't know
Hi she said and there was something strange in the way -
He shook his head this can't be it let's move on
The first kiss kind of awkward
Didn't quite want it bad enough
Forget it they said let's move on
Friends it had to happen
Love they say it seemed inevitable oh but
it was oh-so "evitable"
For them - everyone thought but they were wrong
He spoke of her often her name in his head
So happy together yet not together
Thrown together by - what was that -
So long ago couldn't quite recall
It mattered little
Hi she said and there was something strange in the way -
He knew no one better she knew no one more
Circumstance prohibited chance meetings
Something forbidden in the way ...
You don't know she said
He agreed - I don't know
But could I
I think I love you
You're wrong
How did she die people would ask
I don't know
So tragic, or was it
It took a while years later
Something to remind
Someone said now what was her name
He couldn't remember --
And he smiled.
