You can’t put a kitchen timer on love
or guess how long people stay soft in the middle
No matter how little or how long
they have known each other
My parents knew each other for one year
before they sealed it with a twisty-tie
(rings aren’t for the last minute)
Then a year later they called it quits
My friend’s parents dated for ten years
then were married for ten, then separated
There’s no way to tell what really works
until you test it out
So my parents each remarried, found a new love
a new life, someone else to call home
The crux doesn’t mean the conclusion
even if you misinterpret salt for sugar
and have to start from scratch
Thank you for showing me the best way
to find love is to try again
