Things like this…
Things like us…
Don’t just happen.

There’s something unusual,
ㅤ something different,
About…

Us

As if…
As if we were meant to be.
As if we were,
ㅤ at some place in the distant past,
Pointed toward each other.

And as we grew.
As we matured.
As we became who we are.
As we became…

Ourselves

We were being prepared.
Prepared for a time.
Prepared for a place.
Prepared for…

Each other

And now,
ㅤ here we are.
Wondering…
Wondering if this is it.
Waiting…
Waiting to see what’s next.
And now,
ㅤ here we…

Are

Are we meant to be?
Meant to be together?
Have we been prepared,
ㅤ designed,
For each other?

Are the two of us meant to become…

One?

Things like this…
Things like us…
Don’t just…

Happen
