Serendipity
I remembered him from a chance encounter, a long time ago
Facebook was the re-uniting force
His success, his heartbreak, his frustration, I watched his life unfold
Throughout time and circumstance, my own life ebbed and flowed
I wanted to get to know him again, as I read the stories he told
We always seemed to have someone, but they were hit and miss
I felt our lives in parallel, but could never imagine this
I took a chance and changed it all, and he responded in kind
My heart bounded from my chest as I first heard his voice on the line
His passion, his intelligence, his creativity, it took my breath away
And then he decided to catch a flight, and come out to see me
I knew the moment I saw him again, he was THE ONE, I fell instantly
Woozy with anticipation, What if he didn’t feel the same?
My heard and been broken so many times, was this all in vain?
I felt it from his first touch, the same feeling of chemistry, undeniable from that first day
His visit with me was amazing, filled with romance, passion and humor
But as he boarded the gate to his plane, I wondered how we could have a future
My eyes blinding stung with tears, I thought this was the end
I fell into despair and depression, as reality set back in
Would I ever see him again? The truth was I didn’t think so
He had no plans to move out here, but I still couldn’t let him go.
As the weeks unfolded there became a change,
Everything happened quickly, life was rearranged
He left his job, his world behind and came to stay
Life hit us with many storms, and it was never easy
We became inseparable despite of everything
Call it God, call it fate, call it serendipity
From the time I first met him that fateful night
I got of glimpse of what my future would be
My last name is Tingle now
He made me his wife
