We’ve had our ups and downs;
that’s how pilots go—and season ones.
We’d hold off the happy ending,
and leave some tension hanging.
For season two, we’d each have a lover
until one of us finds themselves sober:
that, for the other, they’d already fallen
and only waiting for love to happen.
Season three, they’ll become single
and try to move on but they’d struggle.
They’d go away, try to stay away.
They’d hope love will find a way.
And if the show ever gets cancelled,
so will they end up in farewells.
The happy ending that could have been
is left held off and never to be seen.
