They worked at the same place, A place of no space, Always running into each other they did, Bottled crushes, with a tight lid, Asked out, Joy shout, Lovely first date, Neither were late, 10 months, moved in together, Hope as light as a feather, Met his mother, Met her brother, Family dinner, Lottery winner, They bought a bigger home, With heaps of space to roam, From...
