The miles spanned at Aprils end,
Time and distance were no more.
Two people met, so far away,
Drawn to each others core.
The talk of dreams and what they mean
Ignite first sparks in mind,
“There’s another out there sharing my thoughts?
Could this be the one I dreamed I would find?”
The weeks passed on in loves full bloom,
Questions answered deeper than ever dreamed.
Soulmates found? Eager to find out.
Destined to be… or so it seemed.
For anything that has true worth
Has a cost that must be paid.
And for them to be together,
The past, to rest, must be laid.
For even in thinking your One is right there,
Awaiting you with open arms,
Does not always ease all the tasks at hand
Or prevent you from their harm.
For there existed another that one was still with
And bonds, already strong, had been made
Comprised of memories past from times shared close,
Unable to let go… to just let them fade.
But both understood the past made them who they were
And as such, led them to where they did then stand.
Each awaited the other, with pureness in heart
And a straining, outstretched hand.
“Why does he wait!?” she screamed inside,
“He’s miles away and only just met!”,
But she felt that she’d always known him
And it’s just in this life they hadn’t met… yet.
“But I’ve shut him out by my own hand!
Taken away all that he needs!”,
And yet still he waited for what he believed true,
His instincts were all that he heeded.
He always had the choice to force through
All the decisions that they had made.
But rather than to cause an ounce of harm,
Alone and cut off he instead chose to wait.
For he knew the position he had put her in,
And deeply regretted that it had to be.
Fate and Destiny are cruel masters,
The present and past matters not to them. Future is all that they see.
He wished to let himself open up
And take away all her pain.
Just to make her happy in life,
meant that his life would not be in vain.
And she could not have imagined a life,
without her One by her side.
Giving her strength and meaning and purpose
and finally making her feel whole inside.
I wish that I could tell you more.
For that sadly is where the tale stood.
She had not the strength to break away.
He wept alone into empty hands, his crushed heart feeling shut done for good.
Some day, we hope, that all will change.
Fate and Destiny both half smile,
they know, of that, there is no question.
It has been planned all the while.
But for these two to see how they each treated another,
in times so hard and unideal,
allowed them each great knowledge of self.
Then Time stepped in and with Time they healed.
One day soon, with the best yet to come
And the True One is already en route.
And with the pain and the torment of life’s tribulations
Making them a shell that’s been all hallowed out…
They will soon see the reason, the meaning, the need
For the void that, which in them, does dwell.
And that reason, my friends, is so simple and clear…
It allows for more room for True Love to fill!
For you see, life is not of just good times,
nor is it all of just bad.
It’s a mix of the two and who stands beside you
sharing life’s load while holding your hand.
