He is late

As usual

She is late

Unusual

She remembers

Their first date

He was late

And usual is

Established!

He is late

As usual

She is late

Unusual

He remembers

Their first argument

Their fear

She was late

New usual?

She knows

He knows

Unspoken

Heart truth.

After the tenth cycle

Of expectations and

Fears, they rest

Arguments end.

He is late

As usual

She is late

Unusual.

Life continues uninterrupted.
