I called her up to wish her a happy 19. I was fourteen hours late. Omega.
20th December, 2010. My first test just ended. I was standing in the cold. It was cold as the north should be. And foggy. And invisible.
My friend had just recognised the old spice on me.
My love was busy elsewhere.
"Remember me to the one who lived there;
She once was a true love of mine."
I called Her up.
"Happy birthday." I wasn't late; I was just on time. "Thank you."
"Sorry, I didn't call you at night."
"Yeah, I know. You don't do that."
Why?
I have this strange theory of never calling anyone up at twelve. Nobody knows why. But, you. You, yeah. When you call someone to wish them at dot twelve, what does that mean? Does that mean they've turned twelve at the turn of the hour? No! The probability of them being born at that very second, or rather minute, (yeah, let's deal with minutes) is 0.000694. What does it mean then? The date of the Happy one's birth is here. So? If twelve other people call up at the same time, how is Mr./Ms. H going to answer them all? Unless that's all you want to do, and cut the call. If you want to talk, call late. I want to talk. I call late.
But, you don't have the excitement anymore when I call you. Late.
If I love you, I'll call you late into the night.
If I like you, I'll call you early into the night.
If I must wish you, I'll call at the turn of the hour.
If I don't, I won't.
If I really love you, I'll not wish you. :)
Unless you're a girl. The girl.
