Where Parallel Lines Meet

We used to be two parallel lines who were fated not to meet,        

traveling in straight paths alongside one another, not to meet.

 

We would travel in the same direction and at the same speed,

but distance was always between us and so we failed to meet.

 

As time progressed, our lines tried to curve to close the space

between them, change parallel to intersecting, in order to meet.

 

 

Yet, on this insane coordinate system of fate, we were as close

to infinity as we were far, a grade year apart, not meant to meet.

 

It appeared that in a world full of rapid changes, we were the only two

constants, two parallel lines who would seemingly never come to meet.

 

But, through a chance encounter on a sunny afternoon in August, we reached a

rare point called infinity,where the heart lies, the place for parallel lines to meet.

Wow i truly believe you read my mind here ^_^ I can completely relate to this in a way that nothing is impossible in this big unexpected world. Life can change to the upside down all of a sudden. I love it how you kept your belief and stayed strong toward the fact you were believing, which is:" Someday, somehow you will eventually meet" I love the metaphor you used here and the strength of emotions. It was kind of funny cuz you were like making fun of the statistics lol :P This only to say that i can so rightly connect to your poem, I was actually thinking about this kind of theme later then. So thank you so much for giving me hope ^_^ You really inspired me. Keep it up and let the world be amazed at your poems and your achievements ^_^ Definitely 5 stars!!!! Thanks for sharing this
