524: Lifetimes
At work, there's a new girl who sits next to me. She somehow regards me as more capable than I am so today she asked me a banking related question. And banks, for all I know and care, could be like mauve piglets frolicking on the moon. But it turned out that I did know the answer to her question so I might be finally growing up and becoming worldly.
Then she asked me to play a game. We both gave each other 5 words and/ or phrases and we had to write something about it. These are the words she had given me: Lake, A sky full of myriad stars, Tentative, Serendipity, Summer night

What I wrote
It
had been a lifetime
Of
give and take
Of
sipping serendipities
From
the frozen lake
That’s
how he was
How
he wanted to live
Waltzing
between certainty
And
things tentative
We’d
shared so many love stories
Like
myriad stars that flock the sky
The
story we share now had begun
On a
summer night when he’d wondered ‘why’
Why
we met as strangers
Around
a frozen lake
Yet
became each others’ destinies
With
a lifetime of give and take
