The Meeting

You're exactly the kind of partner and companion I'd want to have, 

and remain in my life.

I manifested you in my thoughts,

in my dreams,

with my words, and

now here You are.

You entered when I stopped expecting you,

but the greatest experiences are those that catch us by surprise.

Our meeting was organic, free flowing, and most importantly

genuine.

You didn't seem like the kind of person to talk to a complete stranger, but

here you were explaining what brought you to this point;

and I wanted to uncover more.

Your kindness and smile are what drew me in.

Your energy hugged my Spirit,

and your words stimulated my mind.

Have I met you before?

Why was I so comfortable with you?

These thoughts raced through my head,

but at that moment I knew

Our meeting was far from a coincidence.

Destiny

I hear the Universe:

Uplifting me, 

And guiding me with every stride.

Never have I had my head so high;

I carry the energy of my ancestors and the Divine.

I'm thankful for every decision that brought me to this point.

I'm flourishing from soil that has been tampered with;

Reaching heights I didn't think I would see, and

Nourishing those around me.

Curiosity and drive are my greatest treasures;

Igniting the flame of every endeavor.

I've discovered Love, and

I've discovered myself.

The eternal sunshine of the world.

Time Heals Everything

I fell in love with the way we communicated:

Seconds to minutes,

Minutes to hours,

Time was nonexistent and couldn't contain Us.

The way we exchanged ideas and created our own.

Dreams that kissed the stars,

and realities that whispered we could.

"Everything is going to be okay," you constantly reminded me.

I fell in love with your potential.

Every day was a new adventure;

Never sticking to a script, but writing as it unfolded.

I was your idea of perfection,

Until I wasn't any longer.

You dug deep and didn't like what was uncovered.

All of the skeletons in my closet, those you convinced me to be ashamed of.

Dragging my past into Our present, but how far would you go?

You delved and how was I to know?

Not once did I doubt you,

Not once did I invade your space,

But here you are,

Seeking the tainted answers you were yearning for.

Ignoring your faults, 

isolating myself,

still not satisfied.

You sought comfort outside of the solace you had once discovered,

still not satisfied.

I remember the way my heart sank;

My intuition knew before I wanted to.

Since our time apart I have achieved what we spoke of,

Almost instantaneously.

We were a paradox:

Opposed together, 

but grasped apart.
