May Day

When I was growing up, my mom used to tell me
If it's meant to be, it'll all work out.
I doubted it sometimes, pain hurt too much
when I lost the person I thought would be forever.

But just maybe she was right. Because you and I
have certainly been those "the universe knew
and you two didn't." And that is when, I look up
into the sky and thank the universe for knowing better than I.

It was supposed to be dinner as friends then turned
into ice cream for dinner when I had a tough day.
It was so simple, it had always been easy to laugh with you,
but it was the flirty hug from behind the made my heart skip a beat.

It was the usual lounging in my living room, playing Star Wars,
cuddling on the couch, poking, tickling and finally a kiss
that set things off. And that is when you finally took the plunge
with me. "I L U" turned into "I love you" with you

slipping my Claddagh off my finger and fixing it,
declaring to each other it was time to give this a fair shot
because why not, the universe already knew
and it was time for us to find out.
