Circumstance of Love

It’s odd, don’t you agree, how circumstances do?
We could not have known I’d stumble upon you.
And yet, by chance, we happened to have met,
A transaction neither would easily forget.

At a time that was perfect, yet still not ideal,
I was done with the games, seeking something more real,
You were looking for someone who you could adore,
We were both with another, but we both needed more.

For the choices we’d made were not a good fit,
But after a short time we knew we were it.
Now we’d found what we sought, our gaps were filled,
Our lives more content, soon we could rebuild.

I can drive a thousand miles and end where I began,
Having stood still long enough I didn’t have a plan,
Yet, with you, I sit for hours with nothing but a fire,
And we soar the universe, fueled by our desire.

My dear, my heart misses you in everything I do, 
No matter who I’m with, I always yearn for you.
As I walk through my life I want every moment shared
With you by my side, for no one could compare.

When you are away my heart beats through my chest,
I think it wants to run to you, and this I can’t contest.
A gift you are to me my love, you’ve blessed my heart and soul,
To live our lives in happiness remains my primary goal.

We’ve taken time to grow, but alas have fallen fast,
It’s time to look ahead and close the chapters of our past.
For I want you, dear, and need you so – I know you feel it too.
Which suits me fine since here on out, my love, it’s me and you.
