'Til Fate Brings us Again

When I think of you, I think of destiny

How east coast and west coast came to mix

The humidity we both ended up drawn to

We both had better options, yet still we chose this

Maybe intuition called us both forward

Maybe fate brought us to the same room

And maybe your heart began to open up to me

Because you felt the pull of gravity too

And in those hour-long conversations

With the end of the year hovering overhead

Maybe you saw our interactions evolving

Maybe the care I had for you finally began to spread

So in the aftermath of a forlorn farewell

Upon observing my sketches and the words of an unrelenting love

Maybe you feel but a sliver of reciprocation

The underlying emotions of missing out on a shooting star

Maybe sometimes you think of me

Maybe sometimes you think you want to text me

But most of the time, you don't feel much at all

But if fate brought us both to that cramped dorm room

If the divine energy of that night made me feel like we would connect

If the school matched us up, having us join events together as scholars

If the rose quartz crystals pointed me to your side

Then I trust fate will bring us back together come the September sun

And I hope I gain the foresight to love you just as much as I love to run

And if the gentle breezes of life carry me away from your direction

Forever know I wanted you to be my first kiss

That I dream of harmony and you're the first image that emerges

You're someone I'll never forget

I know I'll come to spot you in a crowd come someday

Perhaps mistake me for a stranger, a random Ms.

But internally you'll know I seem somewhat familiar

My dear dill pickle, you restored flames on an already faltering candle wick
