Seven years in this chair; seven years your partner
(meant to be)
Two years in this chair; notes switched clefts
(meant to be)
One year in that chair; new partner / old partner
(meant to be)
Five years in this chair; faithful to one another
just you and I
watch behind this stand
(meant to be)

Relationship (meant to be) tied by sixth & eighth notes ;
counting and hearing ; we’ve matured in a way
i’ve never with another ;
close with each other
unlike any other.

I've been in Orchestra for seven years, played Violin for the first two, then switched to Viola. There have been only two Violas for the past five years; Dan and me. We definitely have a special relationship, separate from all others.
