One

Oh,
The one book to read and write
And the one working day to slave through,
The one cake to die for
And the one pound to shed and the one inch to lose,
The one coffee to down
And the one sleepless night to stay awake,
The one song to listen to and sing along
And the one dance to save
For the one person to tango with.
The one kiss to kiss
With the one kisser in marital bliss,
The one film to watch and weep over
In the one pitch-dark theatre.
The one race to run
And the one record to break.
The one dream to dream,
And the one after one obstacle,
That takes two to overcome.

‘We’re one but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other’
