Fated Love

The first I met you,
        I knew it for what it was
            no misconception, nor loss
                     of thought,
just this loving feeling
sanctioned, 
              by the heavens 
                   above,
now you may pause, 
with good reason
your soul, scarred
by past relations 
that was displeasing,
but I am here to
say,
                                       fate plays this 
                                     way, 
                    I’ll bring you 
                    kindness, friendship,
                          and lovingness,
         every waking day.
