The Bus Ride

I still remember that day When we were two strangers on a bus In a city where we didn’t belong On a journey unmapped A destination unclear With no means of survival, but hope I still remember that instant When our eyes first met For it was right then that we knew Our worn out hearts had found shelter Our cold hands had found warmth Our lonely souls had found a mate It has been years now Since we hopped off that bus together And walked miles towards an uncertain destination Being each other’s warmth during cold blizzards Quenching each other’s thirsts during heat waves Stealing kisses, laughing together, holding hands, making love Unbothered by all the hardships around After years of travelling the world We ended up in the same city where we first had met But this time feeling so happy and satisfied We sat on the same bus And it was then that I once again looked in your eyes And in that instant I knew nothing but you Your features Your being Your soul It was then that I realized I had finally found my destination The moment our eyes had first met on that bus You were my destination You were my safety My dreams My happiness My home My life It was all you All along
