you and i
we were probably
never meant to be
we were probably
not supposed to go beyond
that initial hello
we were probably supposed
to keep walking
smile and not
perhaps
exchange pleasantries
nice to meet you
but keep walking
you were probably
never supposed to
reach out and
touch my arm
and stop my breathing
for that split second
freezing time
and all rational thoughts
we were probably
never supposed to share
that drink
or the one after that
we were probably
supposed to move on
so we tried
and we did
but not really
you and i
we were probably
never meant to be
and even so
we could find no other way
but to be
to exist
together
maybe that means
we created our own fate
somewhere in the middle
or, i don’t know,
maybe that means
we probably were
meant to be
