To my future partner,

I can only guess

What you're up to now.

Have we already met somewhere

Some long time ago?

Did we see each other just yesterday

But it was nothing more than a glance?

Do you believe in destiny?

I honestly do not.

Though sometimes it's nice to imagine

That there is someone out there

Who was made to hold my hand

When I am scared and cold;

Or to give me flowers or gifts,

Or to sit with me on a park bench,

When everyone we love and loved has grown and left,

And we only have each other

To hold.

Sometimes I think about that

However silly it sounds.

But maybe it won't be so silly

If you were the one holding my hand,

Or giving me flowers or gifts,

Or sitting next to me on a park bench,

Still with me when faces have become a blur,

And all we can do is reminisce about the days

When we were young and in love.

If I forget your name,

Know that forever I will remember

The times I said it,

And the first time I ever said it.

How long will it take us

To stop passing by each other,

Our elbows brushing slightly,

And my eyes drifting for a second

Over your face?

How long will it take us

To no longer be strangers?

How long will it take us

To realize what we can be

Or what we could have been?

If you begin to love me, tell me

For I may begin to love you too, but then I may not

Because my heart may go to someone else

When we may have been fated together all this time.

If there is a destiny, help me see it.

Take my hand, and

Never let it go.
