Unwittingly
They had each held the end
Of the invisible string of fate
Connecting them
All the while
The string coiled tighter
Pulling them in
Closer and closer
That day
Life held its breath
Their bodies so near now
The distance between them
No more that a moment in time
“Can I sit here?”, she’d said
He looked up,
The day stood still
All that went before, was before
This was their time
Fate’s work was done
