Meant to Be

Meant to Be

You and I were meant to be,

Faltered steps shifting into an uneasy friendship.

Laughs shared over new experiences,

Walks taken in the crisp air.

Promises made and broken,

New territories explored.

You and I were meant to be.

From the first kiss that struck like lightening,

To watching stars dance across the skies.

And taking midnight train rides to magical cities.

Saying "yes" as we revisited those first magical walks together,

Planning a new tomorrow.

You and I were meant to be.

Leaping into creating life,

And struggling to balance what was right for all thing new.

Suddenly, the questions were asked,

The stories were told.

The trust was forgotten as the past was revealed.

You and I were meant to be.

We tried so hard through the good times and bad,

But the moments that were so sweet turned into something else.

Differences were too great to bear,

And stolen moments weren't ours to share anymore.

But we weren't done just yet.

You and I were meant to be.

We shared more laughter and light,

We created more life and learned to be twice as happy.

But still the hateful words fell from your lips,

Still the judgments grew into mountains.

The emotional atmosphere no longer built worth.

And suddenly, you and I were meant to be,

But we did it all wrong.
