oh how coincidental is this fate
to grab a seat within a new classroom
between my current and my former mate?
who knew that destiny could calculate
the weaving of three strings upon its loom?
oh how coincidental is this fate
the swinging of the pendulum so great
within the grandpa clock before the room
between my current and my former mate?
my senses convolute when both create
a rare concoction of combined perfume,
oh how coincidental is this fate
when memories flash back and forth in state
my heart from extreme ends being consumed
between my current and my former mate?
eventually they'll meet, communicate
the sign of the beginning of my doom
oh how coincidental is this fate
between my current and my former mate?
