DESTINY

I DIDN'T WRITE THIS POEM MY FRIEND SHANIQUA DID! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

A man once asked me,"why do you cry"
I responded as a tear fell from my eye
"I'm crying because I have no one by my side"
He looked around and then his eyes opened wide
He lifted his hand and pointed around the room
As if to show me all the people, I assume
"You don't understand," I said with stained cheeks
And with that I got up and left, never seeing him for weeks

About a month later, I was walking along the street
When I almost tripped over a mans feet
I looked down to see the same man from before
Except, this time, it was him on the floor
When he looked up at me, I could tell that he was sad
It looked as if tears were all that he had
We were starring at each other, but neither one of us would talk
Until I broke the silence saying "lets go for a walk"

I handed him a tissue and we walked up to a tree
The man then turned to look at me
I asked "why are you crying" in my most caring tone
He sadly replied, "I'm crying because I'm alone
he then threw down his tissue that was now used
When he told me why he was crying, I wasn't the least bit confused

"I didn't understand you on that day so long ago
But today I'm just like you and the feeling, I now know."

I grabbed his hand and looked up at his face
And at his sensitive touch, my heart began to race
I wiped his eyes and I said "don't cry
Because I know your gonna manage, your gonna get by"

Before he left we exchanged number and a smile
Promising that we'll meet again in a while
We did keep in touch and we began to fall in love
From the day I first saw him, I knew he came from above
Now that we had each other, we were no longer alone
With him in my life, I'm no longer on my own
It was destiny that brought him into my life
And I'm now happy to say that I am his wife
