A time that was

There was a time when I understood

It wasn’t such a mystery

But now when I look at you and think

Comprehension is a matter of history

I used to see you curl and twine

And I knew what you had to say

But, I haven’t understood you since

Why did I go away?

I know I was away, but then

It was a short while

But the distance that has crept between us

Is longer than a mile

Oh well alas I’ll try my best

To solve this funny mystery

And it will be an uphill task

To understand chemistry
