They are meant to be that way...

It all began on a fateful summer day.
They didn’t know love was coming their way.
It was the 1st day of college, they met in the canteen.
And hence began the tale like very few have been.

Soon they were best friends, but no one gave them a chance.
They said: how different is it? Its just another college romance!
But for them, it was different, really meant to be.
The kinda romance you would only find in a movie.

One day she asked him what made him soar?
What was it that brought him ashore?
What was his salvation, what was the key?
What was that which could set his heart free?

He said: sweetheart you know how I feel.
This love, these feelings… nothing can be more real.
If I could dedicate all my prayers to just one thing, it would be…
That every morning I wake up, I find you beside me.

Bereft of words, teary-eyed, she nodded her head.
A couple of months later, these kids were wed.
Months passed, so did many-a-year.
They had kids and grand-kids, who were so very dear.

They were old and wrinkled, a beautiful life they had lead.
He was about to die, and on his death bed,
He asked her if all her wishes had come true.
She said: yes, coz I grew old with you…

He is long gone now, but still lives on,
in her thoughts and feelings, still making her strong.
As she awaits the fateful day,
When she will be with him,
Coz they are meant to be that way…
