Destiny seemed to be sitting in the wings;

Once we met she was able to begin her magic,

Understanding us better than we did ourselves,

Giving us the time we needed to fall in love.

It took time, but it was worth the wait.

Look at us now!

Once we told our parents and our friends,

Validation of our relationship was their response,

Everyone gathering around us congratulating, celebrating.

You and I are together because of Destiny's plan,

Oblivious to the part she played, thinking only of one thing:

Unconditional love is what we share with each other.
