Destined to be

was it Fated to be, saw from afar, felt it must be, in the cards

born into this world in the same time span, a billion to one chance

the odds stacked against, the world never made sense

two hearts along for the ride, a journey we started this night.

was this destiny? destined to be, seven billion lives and ours collide

born into this storyline, this fairy tale ride, our dice rolls high

another time, could have missed this, could have turned left skipped it

instead glances struck, connection across the room, a kiss shared by the eyes.

foretold by the stars, constellations sang of this love

could have missed the bus, walked by this place, gone home to bed

could have been born in different times, you here today me sat in a long past day

this is the game the universe plays, chances so slim, held our glances, hearts began their dances.

must be written somewhere in a book, a prophecy of love, long overlooked

could have met a friend or watched a movie instead, could have walked right past, but i was hooked

so many ways we could have not met it would be wrong to waste this

as we get close in each others arms and embrace it.

A fortune told, this love was meant to take hold

this was predestined to be, you and me, this room its views, just a setting for two

set of paths, any turns would set us back, left in a different life, a storyline with no love in sight

we took all the right steps to make this story unique to set this story free.

sent here today, pushed on by hidden hands, to take the right road

to share in our passions, set fire to our hearts minds and souls

our whole being ablaze with the love inside as we dance together for the first time

as our eyes interlock, hold us transfixed, we share our first kiss, a first moment of true bliss.
