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
