Sometimes the path we follow crosses
Unexpectedly, by fate I suppose,
With that of another who treads
A completely different journey,
Not at all like our own, yet we
See in them an inner beauty
So rare and precious that
It cannot be denied.
Though we try for a time
To walk hand in hand,
A parting of the ways
Is unavoidable as we
Reach the inevitable
Fork in the road.
Thank you for sharing your
Unique journey with me.
The paths that we follow
Now tear us asunder.
Yet it must be.
