Star crossed, soul mates, kismet cliches! Meaningless fiction - the foundation found only on screen... Then I saw you! Standing tall and strong like a century of old- protecting your child. We two - Strangers ... planes passing in flight. Your gaze pierced deep into my soul. Dear Gods or Goddesses please be kind keep this man out of reach! No such luck cosmic joke... our sons - best friends... I carpool with your wife. no wonder she kept you hid. You became a part of my life, so near and yet so far... stolen conversations - "what if"... I live for an occasional hug A kiss on the forehead. I share with you what I never shared with the ex... Secrets, fears, food from my plate! We covet what will never be... I curse the stars that crossed our paths. Yet- "The fault lies not in the stars ...but in ourselves."
