When We Crossed Paths I roamed the streets with my head down, My gaze always on the sidewalk As I passed strangers; Some people with busy agendas, Some people with heavy burdens, Some people who could barely contain their own emotions, Some people with happiness in their hearts, And some people who felt nearly as hopeless as I did.
I was a drifting spirit, Longing to leave the world Which had taken every last good thing in my life And tossed it like tinder wood Into a roaring fire.
There was a darkness there within me, Gnawing at me from the inside, But it wasn't the sickness that had claimed my mother's life.
No, this was a different kind of dark. This was the kind that only came after a Long, Hard Day, One full of misery And of heartbreak.
This was the kind of darkness, it seemed, That would soon make me lose myself among the crowd.
And I was ready to let it take me until I crossed paths with You.
You were staring straight ahead As you sat on a green bench Beneath the shade of a nearby tree And let your thoughts carry you away with the wind.
I didn't want to just walk away And pretend I wasn't fazed by your beauty.
So I stopped, Made my way over to you, And sat down.
You were surprised, But you didn't object.
That was exactly 10 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, and 28 minutes before they took you away from me.
