When I met Love

I knew I had to talk to you
I knew I had to say, ‘Hello!’ or something like that
I knew there had to be some kind of exchange of words
I knew this could not just end without anything left unsaid
I knew all too well, but I waited for a long while

I missed many buses
I missed many cabs
I missed few minutes, then few hours
Few days and then few weeks

There was something amiss in my life
And I knew where to look for it

But in life when has it happened that you get what you want
exactly the way you want
with the person or in the situation that you want?

Few more evenings, few more wasted hours and
few more missed opportunities

Suddenly you came into my vision
That was when I knew what all I had to say
That was when I knew something was to change
And it did!

Even an end can be a pleasant feeling
An end to my wait was the beginning of another journey
Only this time, I wouldn’t be travelling all alone
I’d have someone to walk along with me
Someone to keep me company

Strange this life is!

How we can sometimes find ourselves through the lives of others
How someone can show us our own lives through their eyes
How being in love can mean much more to love about life itself
