To the forest and kept you so long?
I thought you’d be annoyed
But you didn’t.
And remember the night I dragged you to the Lab?
And you said you’re sleepish, and slept in the Lab?
I thought you’d say, “Oh! Philips, you’ve disturbed my night”
But you didn’t.
Do you remember the time I took you
To a poor restaurant behind Parks ‘n’ Garden?
I thought you’d snub me.
But you didn’t.
Do you remember the semester we read together
In the biological garden? I didn’t buy you a single drink.
I thought you’d deserted me.
But you didn’t.
And remember the time my supervisor
Shouted on you ’cause of me?
I thought you’d abandoned my office.
But you didn’t.
Yes, there were lots of things
You didn’t do
But you stayed with me and cared
And shared with me.
And the thought of our departure
Lingered when I told you my deepest feelings
I thought you’d say, “Yes, I love you”
But you didn’t.
