Love Poem: We

Written by: Jo Bien

We

chances were slim that we could meet
friends knew friends, but not me you
in a crowded world, in these spaces in time
I became yours and you became mine

of all of the hearts in this small, vast world
of all the photos that we sift through
did I see you and not you me?
time closes the gaps on what should be

of all of the loves you could have had
of those we used and tossed away
luck draws a line, the right cards played
and you and I are we this day
