We Were Meant To Be 

A warmth on my face wakes me from rest.

I smell a whiff of sweet syrup and

Breathe in the aroma of roasted beans

That tempt me out of bed.

I imagine you next to me resting

Softly in sweet slumber and I

Kiss you gently on the forehead

Hoping you would sleep longer.

But do you believe in ‘meant to be’s?

I do – but what will be

Is what I make it to be –

In my hands I hold my destiny.

Do you ever lie in bed at night,

Staring into blank space and

Wondering what this life is,

Why you’re here or who’s watching you

From up there?

In those hundreds of seconds

I think thousands of thoughts

But ultimately I am lost.

But I know with all the imperfections in my soul

That I was always meant to be yours –

I was just the one you chose not to know.

With love,

Emily.
