It was destined

In the world around me,
There were a boy and a girl..
Good friends they were..
Soul mates they seemed to be.
Destined for each other they seemed to me.

Time flew past and the bond grew fast.
Love blossomed, or so I thought.
They held hands and exchanged glances.
Oh! The wonderful glances of
The people wonderfully in love..

It all began an year ago..
When all of us met each other.
The guy became an instant friend to me.
He charmed the girl, the beautiful girl.
And I stood witness to the love.

He filled her world with love.
He filled her world with happiness.
She couldn’t resist the charms for long.
And soon enough, the thunderbolt struck her..
And I was smiling, smiling for her..

She was mad, mad with love.
She dreamt of him, with a pure heart.
Her heart ached, for it was pure.
It never loved anyone before and
It was not loved now...

Thus began the heartache for the girl.
Thus began the heartache for the boy.
The girl loved him with all her heart..
The boy felt he couldn’t love her.
But alas, he loved her, he yearned for her..

He didn’t realize his heart loved her.
He didn’t realize his heart ached for her.
He didn’t know he was in love.
He knew not because his heart was pure..
It never felt love, given or taken..

I bore witness to their heartache.
With my heart filled with empathy..
For I knew how unrequited love felt.
They loved each other but
They failed to tell each other.

Then the girl came forward.
She told him, she said to him
The immortal words, the words
That conveyed her love, confessed her love..
His heart was happy, happier than ever..

His heart was happy and yet it ached..
For he thought he can’t love her..
There were barriers between them..
Barriers thick and strong he thought..
Impenetrable barriers, he thought..

The barriers were divine, he thought..
They were the barriers of the gods..
Then he prayed, prayed for courage..
Prayed for love and hope; with hope.
And then his prayers were answered..

He went to her and held her hand..
He looked into her eyes, a fire now
Burned in their eyes, I could sense..
He looked and looked for long..
The fire grew big, and bigger..

And it couldn’t be contained any longer.
I knew it, I knew the power of the fire.
It is of limitless power, the fire of love..
And then he touched his lips to hers.
Sealing the bond, strengthening the love.

I stood witness to all of this.
The love blossomed, the fire erupted.
The acceptance happened and the souls met..
The souls knew it was destined..
I knew it was destined..
