I'd like to tell you a love story - if I may?

I’d like to tell you
A story of love
Do you have the time?
It won’t take long
I promise
Just a simple tale
Of boy meets girl
Well, boy met girl
Girl liked boy
Boy wanted more
She needed time
They laughed
A lot
I mean
A LOT
They took separate routes
As you do
With people
They probably shouldn’t
That is life
But at a friend’s urge
She returned
She saw boy
This time she gasped
I know!
Cliché
But it happened
He’d never forgotten
So it was easy
They laughed still
But they had this other thing
This other thing called
LOVE
I kid you not
I know!
It does!
I’m telling you it does
EXIST

What?
Yes they are.
17 years on
Still together
Still laughing
Not as much
Life gets like that
Life can really
Get in the way
What?
No!
The love’s still there
Just hidden sometimes
In the day
In bills
In house
In work
Hidden – yes
Gone?
You must be joking.
Who else would laugh?
At the nonsense of
Life as this
If not for
Boy and
Girl
Who met
Then met again
And that time
Fell
In
Love
