The Love of My Life, Part 1

You know how
The saying goes,
"There's someone
Made just for you"?
How your heart
Just knows
The moment you meet;
Sparks flying when you do?

I myself never
Did believe it true,
Happening only
In pages of a book,
Until staring
Into eyes so blue,
One glance
Was all it took.

Knowing this man
Who stood before me
Was my "soul mate"
Forever in life,
The man with whom
I was to be;
Someday becoming
His wife.

But as the years
Passed on by
Our timing was
Never quite right.
How I'd sit
Alone and cry,
Wishing to be
In his arms at night.

Still, I believed
In fate,
That eventually
We'd be together,
That it would
Never be too late;
Reuniting us,
Creating "forever".
