How did we come to be

How did we come to be,
you and me,
was it fate, karma, kismet,
or destiny?
How did we feel
it was the right time
to take a chance,
to fall into the trance,
that would lead to eternal 
romance?
How did we know the feeling 
was right?
Could it be you felt the soul 
of the Poet,
and he got lost in your spiritual
light?

How did we come to be,
you and me,
was it fate, karma, kismet,
or destiny?
How did we know 
it was the right time 
to share a dream,
to believe in you and me,
to be free to allow our hearts 
to feel the sweetness of love.
Could it be we felt that special 
connection,
and knew this was the real
thing?

How did we come to be,
you and me?
