Coincidence Or Design

Was it by Coincidence or design 
That you came to be mine
if only for the night
The only night I wished for no dawn

We stemed from different worlds 
but we blossomed in our very own 
Our language differed
but our souls understood

Just one night together 
and now most likely a lifetime apart
but even that fact cannot taint 
Our night, our beating hearts 

My soul hopes for yours
And I hope the universe is kind 
and brings us back together 
by coincidence or design

I thought this was a very romantic and poignant poem, pulling at the heartstrings...each line seemed to fit so well; I particularly liked the closing lines, and that very last line linked nicely with the first line; a very well written piece - congrats on your win in my contest :)
