On campus where the light began to wane,
I saw her walking, a vision of grace,
With my friend by my side, I was lost in the scene,
Her beauty so radiant, like a dream I’d seen.

I gathered my courage, approached with a smile,
Her laughter, a melody, made the moments worthwhile.
Yet as we conversed, I sensed a subtle change,
My friend’s glances betrayed a quiet, hidden range.

So with a heavy heart, I stepped into the shade,
To give him the chance, though my own heart swayed.
I watched from the distance, where dreams softly sigh,
Hoping for a miracle beneath the campus sky.

Days drifted by, and fate spun its thread,
My friend’s pursuit faded, as silence spread.
Then one day, alone, beneath the golden light,
I crossed her path again, my heart taking flight.

“I’ve liked you for ages,” I whispered, so sincere,
Her eyes sparkled warmly, and she drew me near.
“I noticed, too,” she said with a tender smile,
In that serendipitous moment, our hearts reconciled.

In the dance of chance and fate’s gentle sway,
We found each other on that fateful day.
From the quiet shadows to a love’s sweet embrace,
Our serendipitous meeting left a lasting trace.
