I Loved You Before We Met
I Loved You Before We Met
By Rick Rucker
I’m sitting here, reflecting on how strange Life can get,
Suddenly, I realize that I loved You, even before we met!
Generally, there are some concepts that I hate,
Chief among those, is the term “Soul Mate,”
I think that I don’t like the thought of everything being run by Fate,
It suggests that my own Future, I’m powerless to create!
And yet, there may still be some Hope,
I held a vision of the perfect Mate, a way to cope,
With crushing Loneliness, I said a silent prayer,
And when we met, you were my answer, a gift most rare!
Still, this brings up a quandary, one that is driving me mad,
Are You my Vision, or one that Someone else had?
When I asked of Heaven, their help to enlist,
With my loneliness, and the Love that I missed,
Someone sent You to me, that much I knew,
I fell in Love with You instantly, what else could I do?
You are everything that I prayed for, and more, to boot,
You were my answer, the reason to stop my pursuit!
I wanted a woman, traveled and cultured beyond me,
You were born in another country, and classy, that I could see.
And your figure, your lovely form,
Simply gorgeous, far surpassing the norm!
I wonder about all of this, and the questions it does spawn,
I think I’ll just go with it, and be Love’s Willing Pawn!
