The Universe's Favorite Coincidence

Amidst the screaming lull,
Just like a pause in time,
Where everything moved but HIM
And somehow, my world aligned. 

A hallway.
A raindrop.
A stare from an inch away.
He was always "just there"
On the most ordinary day.

A nerd, a solitary soul,
yet enough to set my heart’s petals unfolding.
"Just a coincidence" - I etched myself,
Knowing well... it was not.

So if anyone asks,
I'll stay serene amidst sparks,
"Oh, it's nothing."
But the universe knows - 
He was my favorite coincidence.

Your persistence penetrated the primordial paradigm of speechless synchronicity, spontaneity, spellbinding into the sense of our spatial IQ geometry of passion, we deciphered the denominators of desire into a legacy of love, to be special for more than just survival was our necessity, sharing a quill of genius our felicity...J.A.B.
