i was brought up to believe
that you have to work for the things that you want in life.
because the best things don't come easily.
but i still have flashbacks to the first moment we met;
the way our eyes found each other across the dance floor,
the way our bodies melted together in between
neon laser beams and smoke machines and pulsing beats.
we were in tune from the first moment that we met.
it doesn't matter that you're a pounding metronome
and i'm a fragile melody.
somehow we're in perfect harmony.
i felt a gravitational pull towards you in that first moment,
like a planet orbiting the sun.
you were exactly what i'd been dreaming of
and i was exactly what you had been looking for,
as if the universe had planned the perfect moment for our worlds to collide.
it's as if we're a force of nature,
it's as if our love was carved from the same matter as the earth and the solar systems.
just like the river meets the sea,
we've fallen together so easily,
i can't help but feel as though it's meant to be.
