Me, You, Us

Crammed up in the inside
Mummy’s little tummy.
For seven months just you and me,
Growing together side by side.

Third of May,
Our very first cry.
You came out first,
I, a minute later.
Tiny, sickly,
Said others.
Grew up tall and fit instead.

Classmates for four whole years,
Came the fifth, then the sixth,
Different classes at long last.
Into secondary school years,
You to Cedar, I to SJC.
Seeing each other only
In the early mornings
And in the late nights.
But still as close
As never before.

Been through a lot together,
Relying on the other
In every step of the way.
Not knowing what we have
In store for us in the future
But knowing for sure
We’ll always have each other
By our side no matter what.
