One Year

You probably don't remember, but I do
That day from exactly a year ago
When we first met

I remember waking up to a phone call
And frantically travelling across the country, reaching
Hours late for our rendezvous

Yes, I was late. But in my defense
It was you who arrived, in all your hurry
A bit too soon

You probably don't remember, but I do
That a year ago, I wasn't there with you
At that exact moment

You probably won't remember, but I will
That a year later, I'm still not there with you
On your first birthday
