Do you think it's possible?

I feel like a child,

eager and excited to be told that everything I believe in is real,

clinging on to hope with bewildering eyes.

Is it possible, do you think?

Do you believe that true love is found at first glance? 

At first sight?

I was sitting at a table,

Of middle aged people,

grown into their lives.

Two speak of how they met their partner.

The man spoke of his wife, 

And as they stood at the altar, she looked at him and said "I always knew I was going to marry you. I was told, I will fall in love with and marry a man in uniform."

The woman said "And as I saw him walk past, I told the girls 'See that man? He's mine!' I knew I was going to marry him right there and then."

Do you think this is the way it's meant to be with everyone?

The relationships that last,

 Are the ones sparked by an instant knowing?

Or are these people the exception to the rule?

Are we meant to wait all our lives for that small chance we'll receive that same fate? 

Run into our soul mate and just know?

In silence the truth speaks...

In absence
Silence fuels the paranoia.

This can be deadly to fate,

But,

If silence persists,
And you listen

You come to learn
That your fearful thoughts

Were in the end,

The hurtful reality
You dared not face.

In avoidance
You continued to linger

In deceitful hope.

Life crossroad...

What do you do...

Two paths,

The one you long to travel,
It appears to be everything you imagined,
it teases you with its perfection.

the one you try to forge ahead...
But it won't let you in.

Its path is darkened with uncertainty,
yet the heart is filled with desire, so much desire.

Then, as desperation sets in place of hope
to travel that path,
Another opens.

The same, yet just not the same;
You can tell.

It calls for you,
You can see its path,
And where it will lead you,
Exactly where you wanted,
It's just not the same path, is all.


To travel the path of uncertain fate,
Or to travel a path clear with certainty and contentment?
