Scared and insecure
Looking for something greater
A path where love could be ensured
A boy
Wild at heart
Couldn’t wait to get away
And make his brand new start
In high school they found themselves
Trying to keep their heads above water
They took classes and gained friends
She’d value all that both taught her
Fate would have their paths cross
But the stars were not yet aligned
Little did they know
They would get their much-needed sign
They parted ways
And said their goodbyes
About to embark on a journey
Give it the ‘ole college try
In university she enrolled
A place just far enough away from home
She found the connections she craved with newfound friends
With plenty of room to roam
She began opening up
Discovering who she was for the very first time
He went out into the world
Starting the ascent to his prime
She met a lot of people
But still felt empty
How is it that she wanted so much
While all the rest had plenty?
He tried his hand at love
But came up empty handed
It wasn’t his fault
Many left him feeling stranded
Then one day
She noticed a sign
One of their passions
Had become suddenly intertwined
They began talking
About their love of basketball
And before they knew it
The days would give way to nightfall
Their small talks turned into discussions
About dreams and aspirations
They soon wondered if their bond was a result
Of divine creation
So much time had gone by
They had just been friends
And now they didn’t want
The nights to end
They’d finally found
What they were looking for
Two hearts came together
To form an unbreakable core
It’s all in their hands
There’s no turning back
They’ve built so much together
There’s nothing they might lack
They are so much bigger together
Then they ever were apart
And they just can’t wait
For
their life to start
