I do not believe in soulmates or love at first sight.
We are social creatures, yes, but someone being "just right"?
We do not live happily ever just like Disney claims
But we choose to introduce and learn each other's names
I don't think fate ever dealt me a good hand
But then I'm in your passenger seat while you drive with one hand
I feel out of my body when the radio is playing
I've never been this happy; "Don't leave me please" I'm praying
In less than 3 minutes I'll have to go inside
My stomach drops sickly when my driveway is in sight
I smile into every kiss of ours and remember I'm not dreaming
That the pretty boy I worked with is now the one I'm seeing
His contagious smile and eye contact was close to intoxicating
I looked forward to work for once and he was my only reason for staying
I have found a word for this phenomenon of a boy
Serendipity;"to accidentally find joy"
I have accidentally found true happiness in the arms of someone I may have never met
But thank God I did, for this stranger is no longer one I will forget
