• Sharing bleachers in our gym
• Trading dreams and aspirations
• Enchanted by each thought and whim - - - -

• Lovely, sweet as sugar cane
• I, tasteless as inferior steak
• Destined now for lover’s lane - - - -
• Strategy matured and mustered
• The day would come for us to wed
• Long months emotions flustered
• Ere the vows were finally said - - - -

• Wrapped in blur of by-gone days
• Very few squeezed out our tears
