A love poem

One day the wind whispered your name,

and I heard it in my mind like a song.

You were the lyric stuck in my head,

before we ever even met.

The right day and the right time,

brought you into my life.

You were more than a whisper on the wind,

a reality woven in with my destiny.

Two ships that usually passed in the night,

finally docked in the same destination.

Millions of fish in the sea,

yet we were caught in the same net

only to escape into the sea together.

All because one day we crossed paths

and you didn’t let me go.
