Parallel Lives

We were walking parallel lives
but from two different parts of the globe in time
each traveling round on roads unknown
to learn about life outside of our home
while others around us stayed in their comfort zone
we destined out to unafraid and alone
We were walking parallel lives
each within the same lifetime
yet with all of the places that we trekked
we still somehow never met
we were both being shaped and prepared
for one another and the love we’d share
like a harvest there would come a time
when the fruit would finally appear on the vine
We were walking parallel lives
until suddenly our worlds collide
some might describe it as a cute first meet
while others say it was simply meant to be
you reached out your hand and I reached out mine
two parallel lines became one life
with all the years I waited for you
in a moment a thousand prayers came true.
