The Unlikeliest Duo

Her

With long brown hair

Golden when caught by the sun

A smile that goes miles

That lights up the stage when she performs

Him

With curly black hair

Glasses

Brown eyes

Hard to reach

But not quite impossible

Hard to talk to

But listens well.

They didn't meet

Because they chose to.

They didn't need each other

Until they met each other

And then

Suddenly

They could not survive

By themselves

On their own

Because

Of 

Destiny

Or was it?

Was it really destiny?

Or was it 

Scrambled dice

Rolled around

Or a cat

Whacking a yarn ball

And it wasn't meant to happen at all?

Regardless

It HAPPENED

They met

Anyway

And they became

A duo

Just

Like

That

  • Growing up in 6/8

    My band conductor has always said that 6/8 plays itself -

    it does.

    It's easy to just play through but not if you think too much.

    I grew up in 6/8

    my life plays itself

    yes I make mistakes

  • Falling in love

    The first thing I ever understood about falling in love

    is that it keeps you coming back

    like magnets

    whether it's good for you or bad for you

    you're addicted.

    And I didn't know the scope of it -

  • New Year

    New year's resolutions.

    I tell myself a lot of things every year -

    I never listen.

    No boys, no distractions.

    Too late.

    This time is different I think -

    I want that senior solo
