i ask my girl.

it was the first weekend.
everyone is still trying to settle in.
the timing, the rules, the isolation.
i didn't thought i would make it through.
bet no one really did.

we were sitting on the floor.
heard we're going to learn how to sing.
but its not any ordinary song.
its marching songs.
the one made between point A and B.

some of them already knew them.
others like me don't.
the songs weren't entirely awful.
but its not that beautiful either.
like it or not, this will happen.

one song particularly tug my heartstrings.
not because it has emotional lyrics.
but it reminds me of you.
not to mention i already was.
you were in my head through the days.

I Ask My Girl.

that was the song.
we had more or less started dating.
so the first bunch of lines were relatable.
at some point it got depressing.
one for the fact that i am still in confinement.
two for missing out the early fire in love.

i memorised the lyrics.
sometimes i utter them under my breath.
while taking the rushed showers.
or carrying out punishments.
but mostly on bed before i sleep.
and before our precious night calls.

strange as it may seem but it is what it is.
the song, me, you, we, us.
somehow during those times they gel.
you were my strength.
my light of hope.
one and only, boo.
