Wonderful, self-fulfilling poem. Tender beyond the sum of its words.

I debated which to use; they both had there pluses and minuses.
"Again" gives it weight because it's happened before.
Leaving it out gives it weight because it's (maybe) a special instance.
I ended up using the latter because I decided I liked the hint of singularity.

P.S. They're both iambic: One's trimeter and the other's tetrameter.
Yes. I thought the 4 foot title might be cute.
