Hardwork

We had thought "love you"
Would be replaced by "go to hell"
We'd thought "I'll never leave you"
Would be replaced by "this is not going anywhere"
We'd thought "we are so similar"
Would be replaced by "why am I with you?"
We'd thought
One of us would forget to call each other
At least for a day.
We'd thought one of us
Would some year by mistake forget each other's birthday.

But nothing like that happened
Nothing ever went our way
All our plans kept failing.

Then one day someone
I don't even remember who
Out of the blue said
If love seems like hard-work
One should concentrate on the hard-work
Love can wait
That's its best quality.

And everything fell into place.
