We could not have met, <br />Going by any statistical probability! <br />And the possibility of us <br />Falling in love, were even lower <br />But we did! <br /> <br />Which makes me wonder if, <br />The nature of love is accidental, <br />With transient ebbs and flows. <br />Does receiving love start the countdown, <br />To when it will turn away. <br /> <br />Love magically appears to <br />Alter events, and change the way <br />We understand our journey. <br />Soon, we’re soaring on dreamy wings, <br />And start feeling the heat, on getting too close. <br /> <br />The opposite force <br />Of rejection, grows stronger! <br />After the haze fades, <br />Realization dawns, <br />With the realities of living after love. <br /> <br />So is the journey, the silent truth, <br />Companions come and go <br />We trudge on alone, <br />To forever, <br />Shedding layers of make-believe. <br /> <br />Giving evidence with our hearts, <br />That must be open to joy and sorrow. <br />Only then do we begin to understand, <br />This, most tender and strong of all creations <br />Of the universe.<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/accidental-love/
